My dad's old Savage 110 has a really smooth action that I like. The problem with that gun is its trigger. It even shoots pretty well with 150 gr. Ballistic Tips. The action I tried on the new Savage didn't feel anything like my dad's 35 year old gun. I was hoping that the gun would be just like my dad's old one and that the accu-trigger would solve my trigger problem on my dad's gun.
I am still going to stick to Ruger. I was looking at Ruger's website the other night and saw that the VT model comes in both a .25-06 and a .308. Now, I have my dad's gun that is a .30-06 and I have my Ruger .300 Win Mag, so the .308 isn't really a necessity, but I am thinking about it. I also saw a .243 in the VT model. Wouldn't hurt to have that one too. Too many guns out there, not enough time and money on my part.
