If I were to buy one today , I would buy the Savage 116 stainless with the plastic stock. It is $499 plus tax and it is brand new.
I had a .270W Savage 116 Weather Warrior stainless with accu-stock and accu-trigger that was the most accurate rifle I have ever shot. Was good with a variety of loads. Let my brother in law have as a gift since he had been good to me and our kids and he admired the rifle so much. He visited a few weeks ago and killed 4 of 6 hogs in a little bunch. 200+ yards. I managed to get out and get one with my .30-06 so we may have had one get away clean or wounded, we don't know. They sell for over $600 and they are good.
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
