Savage model 110 in 30-06

I bought this rifle new when I was young probably late 80's. I was wondering how it stacks up to other bolt action rifles

Due to Savage's barrel system that allow exacting head-space adjustment, the Savage bolt action are some of the most consistent "out of the box" tack drivers.

Another big plus W/the Savage is that you can swap barrels with nothing more than a barrel nut wrench & a head-space gauge. You could swap any standard length .473" head cartridge. .270, .280. 25-06 35 Whelen, 8X57, 7X57, etc.right in your garage or basement if you have a vice mounted on a bench..

Even the best shooter can't shoot well with a dog of a rifle.

 

I had a M700 Mtn Rifle DBM in .280 that wouldn't shoot better than 3" groups @ 100yds.

 

In contrast, my M700 Mtn Rifle DBM in 7mm-08 would shoot < 1/2 groups.

I appreciate everyone's advice. Thanks
