I have always been a Remington man having a half dozen of them, mostly 40XBR's and 700BDLs from the 1980s, but my last two Remingtons have both required glass bedding, barrel floating and trigger work to get them to shoot as well as my earlier ones.
Figure this added cost to the already rather expensive price of the new Remingtons, and the Savage looks better at every step.
Certainly the Savage is equally as accurate without spending all the extra money. I'd much rather have a new Savage all things considered. Just one mans opinion. Best wishes.
