Remington 700P vs Savage 10FP....help needed

5. I personally think the internal box mag would become a problem if anything malfunctioned or jammed. If there's a jam with the floorplate mag then you simply release the floorplate.

I shoot both a Savage 10 and a remington 700. They both shoot great. You will get a better bang for your buck with a Savage tho. My out of the box accuracy with the Savage was amazing. They make a great action and a super barrel. And as far as accessories for Savage you can get everything plus more in Savage now becasue of how popular it has become recently, and everything is less expensive. Internal box mag is the only downside of Savage really.

Even so, there are still a WAY larger variety of add ons and mods for 700's. Depends on what you want to do; if you plan on building a custom rifle, the Remington 700 would probably be the best bet, though it's likely that the Savage would shoot slightly more accurately out of the box.

I think you need some trigger time on a internal magazine before passing judgement all feeding problems occur with design and operator input this goes with with out saying to all systems internal /magazine/ dropfloorplate models.
So tell me what great accessories are there for Remingtons other than the AICS stock or the HS /V Bull or Badger mag conversions than what is available for Savage rifles
 
Well I was exadurrating slightly, what I had in mind was mostly the Badger Mag conversions and the AICS stock. I'm not saying Remington is better necessarily, but I am saying that Remington 700's are undoubtedly more accurate and widely built upon than Savage rifles, even though Savage's are much cheaper and more accurate out of the box.

The internal mag is simply to do with logic. Sure it may not jam, but in the event that it does, it would simply and logically be more difficult to fix than with a hinged floorplate mag.

:rolleyes: The point I'm trying to make is that having a floorplate is, logically, an advantage. I'm not saying Remington is better than Savage, though I am saying I'd much rather have a hinged floorplate mag than an internal box mag. I can't think of any distinct advantages to an internal box mag, can you?

This makes a lots of sense...Well said.
 
What are the differences between the 700P and 700P LTR besides the fluted barrel/stock size/barrel lenth?

Also, what it the recommended twist for .223? I see it is 1 in 9 on both the Savage and Remmy..

Is the Savage barrel really heavier than the remington? I read that somewhere on here i think... if so by how much?

Thanks

Airborn_69: Thanks :).

CanuckShooter: There are no differences other than the ones you mentioned, if I'm not mistaken. The LTR was intended for urban scenarios. If you ever come down to Vancouver Island for one reason or another, send me a PM and I'll let you take a go on my 700.
I think the most common twist for .223 is 1 in 9, but it depends on what bullet weights you want to shoot.
I don't know this for a fact, but I do believe that the Savage barrel is slightly thicker than the Remington. Not like it will make a big difference though; there are a lot of other factors that come into play, most importantly the shooter behind the rifle.

Thanks very much for the quick reply Rohann. Would the difference in thickness of barrels have any efect on accuracy due to less heat dissipation on the remmy?
 
No problem!
Theoretically, it would. Though, unless the environment is COMPLETELY consistent (perfectly still wind, temperature doesn't change), all the other parts of your rifle are completely consistent, your ammo is perfectly loaded and consistent, and you, the shooter, are completely consistent, you won't notice the difference. Don't let the thickness of the barrel be the deciding factor.

One thing I forgot to ask.... is the Remington actually parkerized? I keep reading that it is, and that it is just powder coated....
 
Not a huge deal, but good to know.

Thanks for all the info so far guys! Your time has not been spent in vain! lol

I will definitely have one of the 2 rifles mentioned as soon as I can decide somewhat confidently.... lol and as soon as I either get over, find that i like, or find that they are replacing... the inernal box mag. No idea why, but I am having problems getting past the internal box mag on the savage, even though it would probably work fine for me and never give me a problem, i just like the idea of the floorplate or DM better....lol not eliminating the possibility, just makes deciding harder
 
I am not trying to start a ####storm here, but I have yet to see a Savage in service as a duty gun, whether it be LE or in Military use. Here we go.
