Much as I love the Savage 111/110 with accutrigger, they do have some annoying points. First, the butt pad that's included is really bad, and unless you want to use a slip on, aftermarkets don't fit exactly flush (maybe only annoying to me). Secondly, it really does kick pretty hard considering its caliber.. something like a Weatherby or a Browning reduce recoil much better. That being said, it's an accurate, well made reliable rifle, and certainly is inexpensive. The combo units at Walmart go for less than $400, though the included scopes are worthless (usually Simmons). Overall, I'd have to vote for the Weatherby.
