What is the dope on Savage Rofle performance?

Are these LH rifles accurate? I'm in the market
and their Weather Warrior looks great on paper. Does any one have any first hand experience? Say 270 to 30 caliber.

Straight out of the box, I don't think that you can find a more accurate production rifle than the modern Savages. The floating bolt head and the new accu-trigger really seem to make their rifles perform.

I would agree as I have one in 7 Rem Mag and another in .308 , they are extremely accurate

for production guns . With tuned hand loads they can be competitive shooters .IMO

I just bought a .223. Shoots the first reloads I tried down to about .5 moa.
Feeds like crap, waiting for Savage to return it as we speak. Hope they fix it as I really like it.

My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Savages are accurate. I owned an older model 110DL in 270 that shot factory ammo into 1" and I currently have a 7mm-08 11FL that will shoot 3 shots into less than 3/4" with several bullet weights. Best group was <0.5".

I see Savage has announced their 2009 line-up & a new "Accustock" with an aluminium spine that's available to us lefties.
