Ruger 77MKIIVT vs. Savage Model 12 Varminter

[Sore Shoulder]

Which model Savage did you look at? If you head over to savageshooters.com, you can find alot of info on aftermarket stocks that will put the factory synthetic stocks to shame. Aftermarket triggers include 2 models from Riflebasix, and 2 from Sharpshooter Supply. One of the models from SSS is only installed by SSS, as it is benchrest weght of pull (about 2-6 oz.) and disables the safety. I have both styles of SSS triggers, and the lighter model of the RB trigger, and they beat the accu-trigger for bench work hands down. I think you underestimate the stability of the current Savage company. Many shooters are complaining of current poor quality control from both Rem. and Win. I believe that Savage is listening to shooters alot more than the other big 3. I can't argue that one gun feels better to you than another, (personal preference) but in my opinion, a Savage rifle is an excellent choice, and allows you ALOT of flexibility for the future.
