Savage in 270WSM ?

[wisconsinteacher]

Does anyone have any info on the Savage mod 11 in 270 WSM? It looks interesting to me. I would put it in a different stock. How do you think the factory barrel would shoot compared to a Shilen barrel?

It will probably shoot great, the WSM's have a 2 shot magazine which may or may not matter to you.

A hunting friend has 2 of the Savage stainless 16s in 270wsm and they are very good. He handloads for them, but he has a box of Federal 100 gr. factory loads that will group into less than 2" @ 300 yds. Not bad,

They tend to be shooters. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Same here. Wood stocked 110 in 270WSM, one of the early ones with an Accutrigger.
It was deadly accurate, and its favorite ammo was Federal Fusion.

I probably would have kept it, but I detested the bolt. Notchy, stiff, just horrid to use. I sold it to a friend whose college age son uses it now. He loves it, and that's all that matters. I just couldn't see putting over $300 into an action tune at SSS for a rifle that cost me $300.

I've learned enough in the past few years that I likely could have improved the action feel, buty I've moved on.

I would not be afraid of the accuracy on any of the Savage rifles. But I just have a trouble with their looks :wink:.
But that is just my eyes

...no problem w/ the Savage other than they're ugly, but instead of buying one & putting a new stock on it, I'd probably just buy a Tikka T3 Lite & be joyous...

Don't know much about the Savages, other than they shoot and are reliable.

The 270 WSM, absolutely one of the best. I won't likely ever be without a Model 70 so chambered. Accurate, fast and very easy on the shoulder. I can't say enough good about mine. It has loved just about everything I have put through it and it has taken little to no load work to make accurate loads. Love it a bunch.
