[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1701902, member: 95733"] Unfortunately I can offer no pictures to back up my claims. I own three savage rifles and did load development for a forth for a friend. One is a 10ML-II smokeless muzzleloader in stainless laminate stock. Considering it shoot only saboted projectiles, it is absolutely phinominally accurate. I have only punched paper to 300 yards but it has been consistently MOA or better at all ranges between 100-300 yards. Second is a 116 weather warrior in 7mm stw that has shot bullets from 139-160 grains again MOA or better groups. Third is also a 116/WW in 338wm my friend owns and the very first load of RL-19 and 225 grain Interlocks, NPT or Sierra GK all shot great groups. My last Savage is a discontinued 10 FCP in 308. My first trip to the range I forgot ALL of my reloads at home so I drove to a near by gun store and bought one box of Federal Gold medal Match ammo and it shot great groups as well. Will be very interested in seeing how this rifle shoots with reloads. Now I will be the first to concede Savage rifles aren't the prettiest of rifles but they in my 1st hand experience shoot very well indeed I am some what disappointed they are no longer the bargain they once were as I paid only $400 for my 116, about $450 for my 10ML-11 and under $500 for my 10 FCP, but as rifles go they still IMHO rate a best buy. In my opinion before they went up in price they were without doubt the best budget rifle you could buy, I don't know if that's true any more or not. I have shot 1500-1700 shots out of my 10ML-II about 350-400 out of my 116/WW and have not encountered a single issue with either. I would not hesitate to recommend a savage to anyone looking for a great rifle on a budget. [/QUOTE]
