Hey Jon. Here's some more info for you. I had the Savage FVSS with the Accu-trigger in .223. Also had a Mueller 4-16 Mil-dot scope on it, which was a very good scope and combination for this rifle. This rifle was as accurate of a stock rifle as one good every hope to expect. After five years of shooting it, I finallly sold it. Reason being, it was just to heavy to pack around. Was excellent for shooting off a bench or on top of a hill plinking PD's. I really like to be more mobile and it just didn't fit my needs anymore. Maybe it was just a function of getting to old to pack so much weight. Have fun deciding on what to get.
