I've owned 2 pre accutrigger Savage rifles and had an opportunity to shoot a 3rd and while they were OK rifles I have never had one consistently shoot under 1 1/2" groups. Two were .308 and the other was .243. I've read too much to discount that they are capable of much better and have ordered a new one that should be in this week and plan to give it another try.
Just to be different I am getting the Scout Rifle in .308. I don't expect it to be a tack driver but they are putting the accurtrigger on the scout now and I have read reports of sub MOA groups. Since I don't currently own a scout scope I plan to mount a scope conventionally to try it out and may go the scout scope route later.
I'm looking for tips on these rifles, I may have given up on the others too soon. I have been looking at them in the gunshops and they are growing on me.
