All the savage rifles I own or owned except for 1 savage 99(had 3 that did) shot darn near moa and a few quite a bit better. I handload and none have taken much work to get accurate loads figured out. Heck I have an axis 223 that shoots sub moa with American eagle fmjs. I am by no means saying they are comparable in quality but if shooting tiny groups consistently is important out of the box why play this "roulette" that is so often brought up. If I pay upwards of 1k for a rifle, it better come to me fully operational and at least above average accurate without a ton of work tweaking and developing loads.
My 2 cents.
