[QUOTE="Moman, post: 340502, member: 10494"] As always, lots of good advice. I doubt if you could go wrong with either the Savage or the Remington. Both are highly regarded. I have always gone Remington and have no regrets. It would be nice if you could get some trigger time behind a couple of these beforehand, or at least see what feels better at a local gun shop. One thing I would try and do is pick a model that you could get both of your chosen calibers in. Theres a lot to be said of not having two drastic models with different stock profiles. Right now I am mostly shooting a model 700 5-R Milspec in 308. I can't say enough about how well this gun performs, and the caliber allows for plenty of practice time without breaking the bank or burning barrels. I also have a Sendero in 300 RUM that will be here later this week. This will be for a little better range but overall the same profile as the Milspec. I also have a lightweight pack rifle which is another 700 in 300 WM that is bedded in a McMillan Edge stock. This was a standard 700 that had some accurizing work and is a one hole gun as well. Nice to carry all day at 6-3/4 lbs. It sounds like you're on the right track with this, good luck. [/QUOTE]
