Savage

Savage built its reputation on accuracy per dollar. The AccuTrigger put a genuinely adjustable, genuinely light trigger on affordable rifles at a time when everyone else considered that a custom-shop feature.

The barrel nut system also makes rebarrelling far easier than on most bolt guns, which is why Savage actions are popular with people who intend to change calibre later. The Axis and 110 lines cover most hunting needs without ceremony.
