savage or remington?

As long as I can get a good trigger job done on it I have heard that remington 700 rifles have very heavy triggers from the factory. Is 794.99 NIB a decent price for these rifles?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, I haven't exactly read the whole thread. It will cost you probably about $25, and you can get a Remington 700 trigger down to a nice, crisp 2.5lbs.

Friend of mine has the savage in .308 and baught a remmy 700 in 22-250. The savage is an absolute tack driver, best I have ever seen or shot myself. There was no work done and it shot great right out of the box.

The Remmy was a piece of junk, forget the trigger. There was a serious problem as it wouldn't give anything better then 4" groups at 50m. Two problems were IDed on that rifle the holes for the scope mounts were not inline and required extreme windage adjustments to make work with a proven scope. Secondly the barrel must have had a serious flaw that made it past quality control cause even in a vice groups were 4" at 50m. For what you pay for the remmy you should get more.

He returned the remmy for a tikka that shoots like a champ out of the box. can't argue with experiance.
 
Well, i got my rifle about a month ago and i just around to posting pics now, but here she is...

Remington 700 VLS in .243Win
Leupold one piece STD base
Leupold STD medium rings
Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40
Shooters Ridge 9-13" bipod (works awesome) I took some loctite to the hardware that holds the legs on and nothing has moved on me






Forgive my photography skills,I could definately improve on that.
 
I bought a savage 12FV in 7.62 thought it was good until I bought my first of 2 rem 700 PSS .223/7.62 no comapro at all...buy the rem.
