I have shot many savages but not your specific model. Savages are known to be excellent shooters out of the box. that being said, every manufacturer has a lemon here or there. I would not hesitate buying the rifle. Do take note that the trophy hunters synthetic stocks tend to be flimsy...so much so that the barrel can touch the stock if mounted on a bipod. Many have shot the trophy hunters with no effect on accuracy, but using a bipod may hurt accuracy depending on what your accuracy requirements are.

Everything is great with the exception of the stock; flexes. I am getting 5 shots touching at 50 yards, 1 MOA at 100 yards. I believe this rifle can accomplish much more with a glass bedded stock. I am still contemplating glass bedding the existing one, but I am not sure if it worth it. It would probably be about $60 in epoxy, but not sure how well the flexing would be addressed vs buying a new laminate barrel.

I really want this rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor, and was wondering whether it had pillars or any form of bedding. I do believe you answered that query. Thanks. Is your rifle shooting 1 MOA with factory or hand loads?
Has anyone out there shot the Trophy Predator Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor?
