Hi all,
I'm in the market for a budget coyote/deer/hog rifle. I've decided on .243 for a multitude of reasons, the main being that I like it, lol. I'm pretty much sold on the Savage Model 11, but their packages are a little confusing. I've found synthetic stock/ no accutrigger, synthetic stock/ with accutrigger and wood stock/ with accutrigger. These rifles are are within $75 dollars of each other, so I'm not sure which to get.
I've heard that the synthetic stock is flimsy, looks cheap, but doesn't affect accuracy.
The wood stock looks nicer, but will probably need to be bedded, free floated and refinished to remove the pressed checkering.
The accutrigger is decent, but a friend of mine has had his pre-accutrigger reworked and it is a very crisp 3lb job.
What do yall think the best combo is?
