Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Thinking about my first .270..Ruger M77 or Savage 116 stainless...

I've owned several of both in various calibers and like both fine. The Savages have been more accurate on average by a considerable margin. If buying a varmint rifle I'd go Savage every time. For big game where gilt edge accuracy is not paramount, I'd go Ruger.
