My favorite has to be a 116 FLCSAK in 30-06 I bought back in 1996. At the time it was probably the most technologically advanced factory bolt gun available and it came as all Savage 110 series did back then in a left handed version. It has all the bells and whistles,stainless and synthetic pillar bedded with a detachable box, a 22" fluted barrel with adjustable muzzle brake, the three screw trigger which is easy to adjust and I have it set a little over 2#. I topped it with a Leupold Vari X 2 in 3-9x40 in standard Leupold rings and bases then I worked up a fantastically accurate handload with 57gr of IMR4350 CCI BR2 and a 165gr HPBT Sierra Game King. I use the same recipe for a hunting load substituting a Nosler Accubond. Best group to date was .446 for 10 shots at 100 yds with the Game Kings and I can depend on it to place the bullet exactly where the crosshairs are when the trigger is squeezed. From Varmints eradicated in extreme fashion to big game anchored nearly in place with one shot this one will do it all. It's a shame it's no longer a factory cataloged offering.
