I see that Savage has introduced a new varmint rifle in .22 hornet and .223. As I am in the market for a .223 rifle, I was wondering if anyone has actually got to fondle one in person. This appears to be a new action and I was especially interested in what the trigger was like. The newer 10/110 actions have the accu-trigger but no mention is made of that on the Savage web site. I'll probably end up with a CZ because I love the single set trigger but thought I'd give the USA made rifle a chance. Anybody know anything about it other that what is on the web page?

Your post was the first I heard of it. Since I just invested in a model 11 .223 a few months back, figured I'd best check out what I just missed a chance at.

Looks real nice....but....a single shot? It's not for me. Will be sticking with my Model 11.

I decided to call Savage and ask about the triggers. The marketing chick said it was the standard trigger. Yuck! She said "You can have it adjusted by a gunsmith". Yeah, right. Looks like the CZ is in my future. Too bad they didn't get it right. A varmint gun with a crappy trigger is just what the shooter are calmoring for. I don't have a problem with it being single shot but at least get a decent trigger design on that puppy.

I just left the Savage website. This rifle looks to me a lot like the old model 340 from about 25 years ago,
but that wasn't a single shot. The rifle price is certainly right though. However, that new CZ Varmint
rifle is a real sweetheart. Best wishes.

Well if it is a remake of the 340 I would just buy one of there other 223 models with the accutrigger in it and have a fine shooter.
