Don't kow about the Model 11 but from the little experience I have had with Savage rifles, thay are very accurate and affordable.

Their biggest downfall used to be that the triggers were just horrible. Once they went to the accu-trigger though, that took care of that.

They may not have the high quality wood or final fit and finish but they shoot.

I know a guy who uses one in 1000yd competitions. I don't know how well he does but I shot a ragged one hole 5 shot group at 100yds with it.

.308

I've read the reviews and links. Was looking for folks who had them or had played with them.

Kinda depends on what you're looking for in a rifle. Take a look at the Tikka T3 line before deciding. You can pick up a hunter series which is a blued barrel and walnut stock for just under 700.00. Or you can get a composite stock and stainless barrel or maybe even the tactical version.

To be fair, he has the trigger so light on that thing it's scary, I was shooting off a rest and had the scope dialed up.

Still, for an off the shelf rifle, it's a great gun.

If it's got the accu-trigger, I think they come out of the box at around 4lbs or so. They are an excellent trigger system.

Can not go wrong with a 308 at all!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!!
