Every Savage rifle that I have/had, has been very accurate. A gun is a tool to me. I could not care less if the damn thing isn't "pretty", as long as it shoots well. Savages have always shot any bullets that I have put through them-WELL! If you want to stand around and take pictures of them, then go buy an expensive rifle with a fancy wood stock. If you want a gun to use, that you can depend on putting meat in the freezer, or shots in the bullseye, then buy a Savage.
If you decide that you want to trade calibers, Criterion makes outstanding barrels that can be easily screwed on. I have done this with two of my three Savages. I burned out one 7 mag and re-barreled it, and just decided to change a .308 to .260.
I will always be a 110 fan.
