[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 567005, member: 5219"] In the last year I bought two Remington 700s on sale at Sportsman's warehouse. First was 243 SPS on sale for $399. Second is a recent purchase of the now discontinued ADL in 7-08 also on sale for a mere $318. Both rifles shot excellenty AFTER the contact point was removed, full floating the barrel. While the injection molded stock is a bit flexible both rifles shot very well off the bench and with a bi-pod. Only other detail was tightening the action screws to 40 In/Lbs. The beauty of these inexpensive rifles is the aftermarket products for them. The 243 eventually got a rifle basics trigger and a Bell and Carlson rem titanium stock. It is now owned by a friend. The 7-08's trigger was adjusted and I will probably keep it in the original stock. It shoots 110 TNTs into one tiny hole at 100. It is my new varmint calling rifle/truck rifle. I have heard great things about the savages but I don't think you can go wrong with a budget Rem 700 either. [/QUOTE]
