I have a stainless model 116 in 30-06 that will drive tacks with handloads. IMHO i would choose the savage all day long over a Ruger. Rugers are nice guns but I had a M77 MII .243 and it took some doing to get it to shoot sub MOA. When I first bought it a 3-4 shot group looked more like a shotgun pattern than a group. I floated the barrel, piller bedded the action, and lightened the trigger and was shooting 1/2 in groups. This already done with the Axis!
