My gunsmith, who is a competitive benchrest shooter claims the Savage rifle with an AccuTrigger is the most accurate out of the box.
I concur. I chose between the Savage and the Remington 700, both in .308 with the threaded barrel, as my final two choices and decided on the Savage by a narrow margin. The gun shoots exceptionally well with a well-mounted Leupold scope, my personal favorite. I hope to have a .308 silencer within a year, depending on the paperwork delay and mainly for shooting comfort.
