Never had a 114 but thought about it more than a few times.
I have had several Savages over the years and they were all very accurate so that's not the issue.
For me they just always felt like a budget gun, and I wasn't willing to spend that kinda money on one just cuz it has a nicer stock.
I actually just went through the hunt for a new .270 win, and found Tikka and Browning build a better gun for not much more money, and I'll take their synthetic stocks over wood anyways.
There is a Tikka on the EE in 270 win right now I believe. Might be synthetic though if you have your heart set on wood.
