To be honest with you guys, I am not familiar with the newest Remington trigger since the only Remington 700 I have touched is an old one that my dad bought off of a friend right before the friend died. I have no idea how old the gun is, but the trigger was awful. I guess it is kind of like comparing today's Savage to my dad's 35+ year old one. I hate that Savage. Anwyay, on the Remington 700 I replaced the stock with a Hogue stock with a full length bedding block and I replaced the trigger with a Timney trigger. Personally, I love the Timney Trigger I installed on my Ruger 77MKII in .300 Win Mag. I like that trigger more than the stock one on the Ruger 77MKIIVT model, problem is that Timney doesn't make a trigger for the VT model.

Haven't had the chance to check out the Accutrigger on the Savage or any new trigger on a Remington 700. Still, Remington doesn't offer the .25-06 in too many configurations and I don't know if they offer it in stainless steel. I will have to do a little more investigating on their website before I decide on which gun.

Another thing that worries me about Savage is the lack of stability of the company. It looks like they are doing rather well right now, but I don't want to buy a gun from a company that is not going to be around in 5 years. Their history over the past 20 years is a little sketchy.
