little back story, a while ago I purchased a Savage axis in 243 (the package rifle in camo) and it has worked pretty well! it shoots 1" @100 with its favorite load of 70-80 grain Remington factory ammo if I do my part.
Now comes tax time and I will have a little bit more money to throw around and I want to upgrade to an over all nicer gun. I will be staying with the .243 win cambering, its my favorite.
For me it is between the Savage model 11:
Savage Arms
or a used Ruger M77 Mark II Target in 243. (just checked rugers site and they no longer make one in 243 brandie new).
Guns primary purpose is punching paper at distance, so weight really isn't an issue.
any thoughts? is there something better out there for the money?
