The only problem I see is the flimsy stock if it is one of the first ones. They say if it is supported too far on the fore end it can distort, touch the barrel and affect accuracy. I am not positive about this but I think Savage changed the stock on the later ones. I bought mine in September and although the stock is fairly flexible, it is nowhere near as bad as I had been led to believe. The trigger was also much better than what everyone says too but maybe I just got lucky. It isn't great from the factory but I got it working very well now with just a spring change. Mine shoots between .3 MOA and .7 MOA as a rule. I am sure the bigger groups are my fault and the very small ones are me getting lucky. I think it is probably about a consistent .5 MOA gun with a better shooter
