Savage all the way. I own 4 thats why.
You can have one gun and 12 different bbls for caliber changes also....its addictive.
 
If your willing to take the Rem to the smith to relieve the forend pressure and bed the action, then go that way. Otherwise the savage for sure.
 
Relieving the forend pressure on a 700, if necessary, certainly does not require a gunsmith.

I cannot understand for the life of me why Savage does not bead blast their SS barreled actions. It costs next to nothing to do, and the rifle doesn't look like a frickin' light saber on sunny days...........
 
The versatility of the savage is huge. You would pretty much with a barrel swap and maybe a bolt change get into anything that a short action could do. The remington is great as well. I dont have experience with the remingtons, but its in my plans. You cant go wrong either way.
 
Call me crazy (and you would probably be right), but Ive never been a big fan of remington rifles. My vote is 100% savage.

Sorry savage guys....you can but a "barrel" nut on a Remmy if you want/need too, but if you don't have too, why??

AND!!! HOW MANY HAVE YOU, WITHOUT A SMITH, YOU STILL NEED "GO=NOGO" GUAGES, AND YOU STILL HAVE TO HEAD SPACE IT.

Yep, thats right, 'ya ain't foolin' me.

Buy a Remmy, Buy ONCE.
 
Go to a store that has both rifles so you can feel them first hand. If it were up to me, I'd take the Savage anyday over a Remington in today's market. Rems havent't made the huge strides forward in the past 30 years as Savage has. In the 70's and 80's, I'd take the Remington for sure. That is no longer the case. Good luck whichever way you go.
 
It's hard to improve on being the best selling bolt action of all time. Remington 700 still remains the best selling bolt gun today.

Savage, well they went bankrupt and have since bounced back.

So yea, I guess you can give Savage the "most improved" award

Actually, Savage is to be commended, and they have done a really nice job in recent years.........

Numbers alone do not necessarily make something the best though. That can be seen with the sheer numbers of CVA and Traditions muzzleloaders being sold.
 
Man, 2much, after reading your first post on this thread I was beginning to think you were going soft on yer Remington stance, glad to see you bounce back a bit on the second page. Was wondering if you were a little under the weather or something.
