I do not own an "expensive Savage" per se, but I do own an Edge and a VT11. All three are excellent shooters. The Trophy and VT both are in .223 and both can do 5 shot groups around 1/4" typical with reloads. they both like 53 grain vmax and 69 smk's. With the Trophy Hunter if I stay to 3 shot groups one ragged hole is fairly common at 100. Both wear Nikon glass. The scope that came on both did OK during barrel break in but were changed before load development so I can't fairly say if they would be worth keeping or not.
