Make sure you vote bud. My heart's with Ruger for this one.

# 1 - Savage
# 2 - Remington

 

[GeoTrekr]

#1 Sako - But hardly fair since it is priced so much higher than the rest
#2 Remington - Nice looking, nice shooting, feels good to operate
#3 Savage - Awesome value if you're just looking for a functional shooter

1: Tikka fit form and function, and purdy as the day is long
2: Savage great introductory models at a great price

Sako first and Remington second.

Always was a sucker for Winchesters. Model 70's and Model 94's rule

 

[todbartell]

Sako probably does, but I'll keep buying Remington 700s because I like them

 

[Gatehouse]

Winchesters havent' started production again, so I'll take Ruger.

 

[nrut]

Well Ardent...Since I will be in the market for a used Kimber 84 in 7-08 I would like too see you get one of those...

Me too!

I am a fan of Browning, also like CZ, of course Remington despite problems with the last 2 I have bought (warranty and easy fixes)
Thompson for BP rifles

Tikka

Had to go with the tikka due to the out of the box accuracy, sure a T3 lite isn't much to look at but the way they shoot factory ammo out of the box it is hard to say no to.

 

[X-man]

Sako & Tikka should've been seperate categories. My vote went with Remington. Can't beat the performance, accuracy and durability for the price. They look a lot nicer than many other rifles as well.

 

[agilent_one]

Sako, followed by Tikka.
