I have a Savage model 16 in 260 that I can't seem to make shoot. I've tried H4350, 4064 and several bullets and it isn't very impressive. This is a hunting rifle so I'm not looking at making it a bench weight rig. I've had shoulder surgery and would like to stay with 120-130 gr bullets for the recoil, otherwise I'd shoot my 06 with 150 gr bullets.

The rifle is bedded in a Boyds thumbhole stock and shoots no better than it did in the factory plastic stock.

I'd like something 22-24" in a light/medium contour that will shoot 120-130 gr bullets well. Any suggestions?

BTW, I want to stay with a 260.

Thanks.
