[QUOTE="RustyW, post: 899725, member: 8929"] I have a savage model 12 in .243 that's about 3 weeks old. I'm a fan of wood and blue too but I wanted to try the accustock. It's been great so far. I've shot about 40 rounds through it. It seems to do good with 58, 70, and 87gr bullets. I haven't had a chance to try 100grs yet. It'll hold under 1" with all three weights. I have a Ruger #1 in 45/70. Have you shot or hunted with a #1? Mine will clover leaf 325gr LFNGC bullets at 100yds. I love the #1, I just wish I could afford more. Something I've noticed about the accustock Savage is the blueing has a higher luster to it than my old ones. I have a .308 model 11GL with sights, about 8-10 years old and a .223 model 12 varminter w/26" bull bbl. about 3-4 years old. They don't seem to have as nice blueing as the new one does. I like single shots too and the barrel swap on the T/C is a plus. You could do a barrel swap on the Savage too if you wanted too. The bolt dim. on a .243 covers quite a few caliber changes. Can't go wrong with the Ruger either. I've not owned a bolt rifle from Ruger but have several pistols and a 10/22. You really can't go wrong with any of them in my opinion. If you could try them on for size so to speak and see which one feels best to you, that's the one I'd pick. [/QUOTE]
