Any rifle from a reputable maker with a good barrel and a good trigger will shoot well, or can be made to shoot well.
My Varmint buddies between them have a Custom JD Jones Savage in .22-250, Remington Varmint in 22-250, a custom Winchester Model 70 in .223, and a M700 Varmint identical to the 22-250 in .223. Plus a few other oddballs, a Savage in.17, a CZ .22 Hornet, a TC in .243, another Savage in .204 Ruger....
ALL of them will shoot into pretty darn close to one hole at 100. The first Savage above has the BEST trigger I have ever felt...like a THIN icycle breaking...
But although Ruger M77s don't have the same reputation across the board with target guys, I lucked into my sweet used M77V in .220 Swift, no longer made in that caliber but with the old style adjustable trigger almost as good as the custom Savage, and can and has put them into one hole at 100 too...even with me behind the trigger
But that having been said, I still would vote for a Savage...
I have NEVER shot any Savage, in everything from .17 HMR to .22 to .222 to .300 Savage to the above mentioned that was NOT accurate. They just ALL seem to SHOOT.
Plus, that Accutrigger they have now for a few bucks more than stock is as good as many much more expensive aftermarket triggers.
And I always liked that "Barrel Nut." While not yet having "shot out" a barrel, I know all the stories of the Swift and I DO "push" it...
I will have to have a 'smith do it if I need to someday on my Ruger---but with a good vise, and a set of headspace guages, technically you could "DIY" with a Savage!
But to each their own, remember the rifle's accuracy is is 95% BARREL and TRIGGER. You can make, modify, or buy aftermarket the stock that fits you and bed and freefloat it properly on ANY rifle, and mount good optics on it properly as well for all the rest, so try them all and buy the one with the best BARREL and TRIGGER.
A good barrel with a good trigger (OK, with good optics mounted properly on it as well) on any cheap old rifle will generally out shoot even the most expensive rifle made that has a bad or shot out barrel and/or a crappy (creepy?
) trigger....
