My savage shoots great too

Just got back moments ago from the range. After getting it sighted in I shot a 7 shot group that went .75" followed up by a 5 shot group going .5" very reasonable at this early stage in the game.

The trigger is terrible though and needs alot of adjusting and I'm sure the barrel will get alot better as I get it broke in, still the initial results seem pretty positive. I love the "pop" "whap" as you shoot and litterally see the bullet strike downrange. Very fun. My wife gave it a few shots too and she was quite surprised at the lack of recoil (its non-existant). I wonder if she'll want one now Wink

DallanC,
My Savage also shoots great also. The Accu-Trigger works well as advertized. Sometimes though, something less than 1.5 pounds would be nice, but really can't complain about the factory trigger. Good luck with yours. Smile

I have an older model 110 Savage (left handed BTW, DallanC...I shoot southpaw too !!) and I put a Timney in it many years ago. I've since had a chance to shoot a new Savage with the Accutrigger and I just couldn't get the feel of it. I would take a Timney anytime. Just my 2 cents worth............All the best.....Blaine
