The guys I know that brag salvage "only" mention the accuracy. Guess its all they got going for them....well that and the accu-trigger. Accuracy is the most important to me. You?

I'll take a 1 MOA rifle which fits, functions and balances well over a 1/4 MOA rifle which is heavy, ill balanced, and clunky every single time.

To paraphrase:
Accuracy is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.
I'll take an accurate, attractive rifle all day long over an accurate, ugly rifle. The solution....keep buying attractive rifles until you find one that is also accurate.

I like the Savage. Ive held a few of them and would really like one in 250 Savage. Just can't see paying what they are asking. I have a 50 year old Husqvarna lightweight that is just as light and i paid $400 for it. Would take it over the Savage and Kimber

I'll take the 1/4 MOA, all day, every day. I guess i don't think they are "that" ugly. I damn sure don't think a Montana is attractive either. JMO

Ken, I knew that. Still don't like the stock and I love my 99's as well,(which I will still carry most of the time) but oh these LWHs are easy to carry. Added: A person should buy/shoot/carry whatever the heck he wants. Makes no difference to me, it is whatever floats your boat. Just so one continues to buy/shoot/carry.

My pretty Remingtons wish they could shoot as well as the ugly Savages! The Savages I have won't win any beauty contests, but they will make 1-ragged hole at 100-yards every time at the range. My G1 Ti is a 1+" rifle at best no matter how I try to get it to shoot like the ugly guns. I will buy all Savages going forward. The Kinber is a a pretty rifle though and I cannot speek to their accuracy.
Good Shooting!

Well that's one way to look at it...now if you're living in the real world like a lot of us are, you are probably better off getting a rifle you can reasonably expect to have a good degree of accuracy from to start with. Just buying more pretty rifles until you find one that shoots is beyond a lot of guy's(myself included) budgets.

I'll take a 1 MOA rifle which fits, functions and balances well over a 1/4 MOA rifle which is heavy, ill balanced, and clunky every single time. Or even a 1.5 MOA rifle that feels good! Ive been lucky i guess as my 84l 30-06 shoots an inch with TTSX factory loads and my 84m 338 fed is getting 3/4" with 185gr TSX factory loads. Ive got a new 84l 25-06 im shooting for the first time next week. I agree with nsaqam 100%. Id rather have a nice handling rifle that might not shoot as well as a tack driver that doesn't feel good in my hands. Heck even a 2 MOA rifle is sufficient for most big game under 300 yards.

There are a bunch of accurate, nice handling,and good looking rifles out there.You just have to be willing to pay the price.Anything less will just cost you again later,when you aren't happy.
Actually,that sounds a lot like looking for a wife.
