I imagine serious competition shooters are using Anschutz.
I didn't think we were discussing competition rifles.
The Savage synthetic stock is crap, this much is a given. However, many of them come with laminates and if not, they are readily available and affordable.
It's a funny thing, I've been on RFC for 14yrs, shooting Savage 93/MKII rifles for 10yrs and never heard of or experienced these issues.My 93 shoots half MOA and my first MkII shoots 3/4MOA at 100yds, or slightly better than my CZ. While CZ fans harp on
potential (and apparently rare) magazine issues, they never seem to bring up the issues with their pet rifles, which are 100% present on
ALL CZ rimfires.
1. Backwards safety.
2. Bolt/scope clearance issues. I have a Leupold 1-4x on my 452 in medium rings and the bolt contacts the eye piece.
3. The odd dovetail size. Not many options here. Whereas the Savage and Ruger rifles are drilled & tapped for whatever style scope base you wish to use.
