[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 290966, member: 10306"] I have a Model 700 XCR. The more that I tinker with it and set it up, the more I like it. I definatley think It is a nicer design than the savages (personal opinion). It is'nt a target rifle, but I'm hoping it works for me. I got the trigger issue sorted out thanks to Jim See at CenterSot rifles. with the exception of the trigger breaking in half at the set screw I really like the trigger (for factory). I have a new trigger of the same model and like it. As far as drilling dimes, your gonna have to go high end to custom for that. If I was gonna build a custom I would go with a remy over a savage, but I would way rather buy a custom action and go from there. All being said, If you go factory there are lemons and there are gems, its a gamble. Feel both for yourself, whatever one you like the feel of better, get that one. Both can shoot well and both can shoot like crap. make a list of what requirments your rifle must have and compare models that meet your needs and price range. With my XCR I have cut a butt hook in, free float the barrel (there was alot of excess material), bedded , stiffind the forend, painted it and put a brake on. hopefully I get a chance to shoot it soon. just my rookie $.02.
