Stainless synthetic stock. Looking at the 116 Savage, or A Bolt without Boss. .270 caliber. Money is about the same $550 ish either way.
Opinions? I own a couple Savage and really like them, but never owned a Browning.
I may talk myself out of both before I decide and just save the money.

Never shot a Savage but absolutely love brownings.
You can find brand new Browning A Bolts for the $500 range.
Looked at a Composite Stalker in 7mm mag the other day for $525 plus tax.
Just thought I would let ya know that.

A Bolt hands down. Shoot one and it will sell itself.

Browning. Browning. Browning.
Accuracy is almost a given these days with all major brands capable of MOA. I find the Browning much nicer to hold and look at, unless you go to the very top of the line wood-stocked Savages. (My A Bolt is wood and I'd go there rather than Synthetic.)
