Hello
I'm new to the forum and need some advice - I just got back in to shooting.
I would like to get a new deer rifle that I can also shoot at the range.
But - can't decide between the Savage Hunter 11G or Winchester Model 70 Featherweight - the savage is about $200 cheaper but $$ is not the 1st. issue
I'm a short guy 5'6' with small hands and after holding each at Grainger Mnt. I like the thinness of the Model 70 over the thicker feel if the Savage.
The Model 70 justs feel better on my shoulder - but I like Savage I think their a great Co. and I know they make excelent rifles.
Is the accu trigger have significant advantage over Winchester trigger??
When asked for advice - several people have questioned the accuracy of the winchester rifles being produced as of late. I was told Winchester is for sale but - has found no takers due to worn out tooling. This worn out tooling is being blamed for produceing inaccurate rifles - ? is this true ?
Thanks in advance for your advice
