[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 826786, member: 35183"] Ford vs Chevy etc etc. What you mean to say is that for an ADDITIONAL $700 to $800 AND a bunch of waiting on gunsmiths, he [I][B]could[/B][/I] turn his Remington into something better. But he could also keep his Remington, spend the same amount of money and have a second rifle. Or sell his Remington and the price would about cover his entire Savage build without having to spend another dime, or just a small amount. Some people love Remingtons and just ignore their faults, I'm well aware of it. But one cannot have a rational conversation with such people, because my $650 Savage which shoots 1/4" groups is "just a Savage", "still a Savage" etc. It sounds like our education system where people expect to be rewarded based on the name of the institution where they got their degree instead of what value they actually add at the company through their work... If the amount of cash in your pocket is limited, and you want the greatest degree of control over your accurate rifle project, make it a Savage. If money is more freely available and you belong in the Remington camp, and give a greedy and shoddy company your loyalty, fine. I know which way I vote with my money and I am not rewarding mediocrity. When my ship comes in it will be a Stiller or a Pierce or a Shilen - manufacturers who deliver on the promise of what Remington once was. [/QUOTE]
