anyone shoot the hunter friendly creeds ? I know savage makes em in 22 in barrel..just don't think I want to lug a 26 hvy barrel through the woods
If I were buying one today, I would get one of the Savage models with the Accustock, specifically the model 10 Predator Max; it gets great reviews and all of ones I have read claim it shoots well under an 1" out of the box. It has a 24" barrel, but it is a medium-heavy and is fluted. You could always have it cut down. The Accustock models have much better magazines and are inherently more accurate.
