the barrel nut serves a purpose and serves it well. it can be eliminated and often is when adding a custom barrel.
long range benchrest shooting has become so competetive that few factory actions of any make are currently used.
point is however that opinions for whatever reason are fine.
but facts are facts and based on those alone its best not bet against a savage for accuracy.
personaly i have both remington and savage rifles as well as weatherby and a few customs.
im equally fond of all of them.
i will admitt to a soft spot for savage for 1 reason.
back about 1960 i wanted a left bolt rifle so bad i would have stolen it.
savage offered me one, and none of the rest thought us leftys worthy enough. some still dont.
