[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 34625, member: 2693"] I am a Remington fan. But I also have a Ruger with a Hart barrel in 270 that groups < moa daily...WITH JUST ABOUT ANYTHING I PUT IN IT! Savage, though I have no experience personally other than friends, seems to have a pretty accurate rifle. I just do not care for the length of the bolt and the fact that the bolt handle is at the very end of the bolt. Your price cap does allow you a bunch of options. I would also buy a used gun and have it blue printed/accurized with a new custom match grade stainless barrel on it. One thing you should know about Remington: on their newer rifles, they have a new safety mechanism that uses a "J" key, and a different shaped firing pin/spring mechanism. It is now somewhat shaped like an hour glass and can rub against the inside of the bolt. Remington has always had the fastest lock time but for whatever reason, they've tried to make it faster. If you go with a Remington, have a gunsmith change out the firing pin, spring, and bolt shroud to the older system: approx. $75.00. Secondly, Remington changed their trigger. If you can find the older version, it is much easier for a gunsmith to work down to a clean crisp 2lb. Many gunsmiths really liked the factory Rem. triggers before they changed them. The Rem. receivers are easy to square and true, bed, etc. That's my advice. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
