Remington vs savage

[Fire824]

Contemplating a new bolt gun.. Remington 700, or savage tactical? Any thoughts?

Ford vs. Chevy....both good, everyone has a preference. I have both, personally, my Savage(s) generally shot better out of the box than my Remington(s). Remington used to be more "customize-able", but for the most part, not anymore. If you hate it from the start, you'll probably still hate it later on. Check them both out and get whatever one you like the feel of better.

A few years ago I was diehard Remington. I bought a savage just to prove it was not as accurate as a Remington. Then I shot a 5 shot 1.1 inch group at 200 yards with a factory rifle and factory ammo. Obviously my plan didnt work, so I bought another. I shot a 5 shot group with it at 200 yards with factory ammo and it measured 1.4.

The moral of the story is Savage is making ALOT better rifle than they usto to. In my mind its a toss up, with Savage in a slight lead

I have a Savage Axis .270 and love it, not quite a Remington 700 but very good value

Im in the same boat! Ive been thinking of getting one in 308 but not sure which one i like better.

I like the furniture on my 700BDL. I've never shot a Savage, but always been curious.

Remington is made in New York

Savage is made is Massachusetts.

OP, we need more details...

What caliber are you wanting? How do you plan to use the rifle? Do you have specific models in mind? Do you have plans to customize/upgrade? What's your budget?

Thanks for the info, l figured they were comparable.. Prolly going with the 700

I'm extremely impressed with how stock savage rifles shoot, and the accutrigger is a very good trigger. Changing barrels is also very easy.

Have you looked at the Ruger American Rifles?
Might be an option for you price is good and Ruger makes a great product.

I hate the bolt lift on Savages and really don't like the safety placement on them either.

I'm a Savage fan myself. Either way you will have a great rifle and endless upgrades available. I ended up with the Savage Stevens because it was the most inexpensive option knowing I would end up upgrading the stock and trigger anyways.
