Most .22-250 rifles are tack drivers; the cartridge makes the gun. Best ever invented.
On a side note, slam me if you want, but I don't buy Savage firearms, not because I think they're inferior; they're not, but because of the name and trade symbol. I am amazed by how a gun manufacturer can go by the name Savage and put a picture of a native American on the rifle's stock. To me it's not right, but that's just my opinion.

Just a note about Savage: Savage was the founder's name; here is the story about the Indian head symbol.
The Savage Arms Company was organized in 1894 by Arthur Savage in Utica, New York. A native of Jamaica, Arthur led a romantic life, having been schooled in England and the United States. In his thirties, he explored the interior of Australia and was held captive for a year by Aborigines.Later he became the owner of the largest cattle ranch in Australia.
After moving to Utica, New York, he developed the Savage Halpine torpedo, became the Superintendent of the Utica Belt Line Railroad, and invented the first "hammerless" lever action rifle with the entire mechanism enclosed in a steel receiver. This remarkable rifle featured a rotary magazine with unique counter that visually displayed the number of bullets remaining in the receiver.The Model 99, as it became known, advanced firearm technology, offered the average person an affordable rifle, and started a business that has stood the test of time. In 1919,Chief Lame Bear (opposite) approached Arthur to purchase lever-action rifles for the Indian reservation and the two men struck a deal. The tribe would get discounted rifles and Savage would get their support and endorsement. It was at that time that Arthur Savage added the Indian head logo to the company name, a direct gift from the chief. By 1915, Savage Arms was manufacturing high power rifles, 22 caliber rifles, pistols and ammunition.
