[QUOTE="Buano, post: 536401, member: 21641"] Occasionally a Browning, Remington, or Winchester will come out of the box & shoot less than 1/2" groups, and when one does there is a very happy owner. More times than not these guns have difficulty shooting 1.5-2" groups. With Savages "out of the box" accuracy is almost common. My Savage thoughts are best shown with the old Savage beater in .243 I picked up for my dad to use as a barn gun. I stripped the rust off the outside of it, polished the bore & took it to the range. 5-Shots into 1 hole at 50 yards & 5 into 1 ragged hole at 100 yards with factory ammunition. This is a gun that obviously needs a better stock, and trigger to improve accuracy. I wonder what it would be capable of if it wasn't going to hang out at his farm?? Yes, this is an ugly gun worthy based on looks alone of hanging out in his barn, but how many $2,500 custom rifles can outshoot this $150 beater? [/QUOTE]
