My feeling with Savage in general is the very light barrels on many models are just too light and cannot perform.
If you can find a round that does 1.5 inches then you are doing fine for hunting.
I had one in 270 that was inconsistent on the first shot of all things (first for me, usually its two on and then the third may wander). It would throw it up and to the left.
Next two side by side, after that, forget it (until fully cooled off)
Plastic stocks are ok in the under 308 and short actin calibers. 6.,5 would do fine I think. 270, 30-06, 308 would long term not do well.
But if its a low cost package and you can do 1.5 inches for hunting, its fine.
Just don't expect that 1 MOA myth.
Heavier barrel Savage models do much better, never in a package though. Scope and rings are extra.
