[QUOTE="TC in Wallowa, post: 44838, member: 2298"] I bought a Rem 700 Sendero in 7mm STW two years ago. With just a little load work I was able to get 1/2 MOA easy, if I do my part. Fit and finish was superb. No noticeable machine marks, stock fit was perfect. Now just yesterday I bought a Rem 700 VS in .308 with the same type of stock as my Sendero, Bell & Carlson? I think? Fit and finish is still superb. Only difference is the J-lock. I never plan on using it, so I left the keys in the box in the basement. I do not see a reason to remove the J-lock either. Rather spend the money on bullets. Now what led me back to Remington. I looked up and read up everything I could about the new Savages. Read lots of good reviews. Seems like they can be real tack drivers also. But when it came right down to comparing the Savage tactical with a 24" barrel with the Remington VS with a 26" barrel. The Remington won hands down. First thing you will notice on the Savage is the cheap plastic stock. Machine work could be slightly better. So for the $139 more I went with another Remington. [/QUOTE]
