probally end up going to the store on friday and putting a deposit down on a savage model 11 in .308 with a dark wood stock. Let me know what you fellas think about it, it does have the accutrigger and is priced at $400.

In my experience, modern day Savage rifles are exceptionally accurate right out of the box, and are all around great guns.

Savage has the most accurate out of the box gun.

Ditto about quality of Savage. My next commercial deer rifle will be a Savage short action.

Might want to look at the Marlin XS-7 in .308 as well while yer there.

It's got a similar trigger as the Sav, but it's also pillar-bedded from the factory with a VERY nice recoil pad...and has been getting RAVE reviews from all the gun mags.

And it costs $120 less

yea i was big on the marlin xs7 for a little while but then i decided to go ahead and get the free float barrel along with a floor plate i didnt like the fact the marlin didnt have one, plus ive heard its hard to beat the accutrigger, but along with the savage i got him to throw in a scope base and a hard case.
Thanks
