My two primary hunting rifles are a Savage model 10 in 6.5 CM with a walnut LWH stock, and a Tikka T3 in 7mm-08. I have a lot of experience both with Savage rifles (8) and now Tikkas (5). They are both great platforms in their own right and I wouldn't trade either of mine for what they are used for.
The plastic LWH stocks are very flimsy but they are accurate enough and super light. Having said that, once I finally dropped a model 10 barreled action into a WALNUT LWH stock, I was a changed man. It is, by far, my favorite Savage stock of any kind. The walnut LWH stocks are only 27 oz! There aren't many synthetics that are 27 oz. And both Savage rifles I've owned that wore walnut LWH stocks shot lights-out. Like 1/2-3/4 MOA routinely. So they are very accurate stocks, no bedding job at all.
Tikkas are great rifles, period. From the get-go, they are great shooters right out of the box. I've only made very minor modifications to any of my Tikkas (removing the plastic tab in the forend that contacts the barrel is the first thing I always do). They have all shot sub-MOA routinely, with anything I've fed them. My hand loads are quite a bit better than that. Boring accuracy and smooth operation.
But I still love my Savage rifles. They tend to be great shooters as well, and I love being able to swap a barrel in 30 minutes if I want a different caliber.
I don't agree that Savages with the Accutrigger need a trigger upgrade. I have no problem shooting mine into 1/2 MOA groups with a sub-7 lb. rifle and a 2-7x scope.
