[QUOTE="StrutNut, post: 1142811, member: 88257"] Tikka, - smooth action, very good accuracy, light rifle that will have recoil. For magnums you will want to put a brake on it. Remington, junk trigger from the start so need to upgrade that, good action, good accurate platform to build from. Savage - out of the box it is solid. Very good bolt, trigger, accuracy. There are a few that need some tweaking but most are shooters. I have the Bear Hunter in 300 win mag that comes with an adjustable brake. With 180gr there is not much recoil. My 14 yr old son shoots it all day long. We ran 80 rounds through it the day I picked it up and would have ran more but I needed to save some rounds for hunting. Very good groups with cheap factory stuff. I can wait to reload for it and really get the most out of it. At 7.5 pounds with a 30 ox scope I still cant spot the hits though. I was looking for an overall hunting rifle so I am fine with it but for dedicated long range I would not hesitate at going heavier if you plan on shooting magnums. Savage LRH would be perfect. I do plan on replacing the brake with a suppressor when I can afford it. I would look long and hard at the Savage line but in the end, whatever one fits you best as they are all 3 very good. [/QUOTE]
