[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 531753, member: 29890"] The model 700 you speak of is a VTR, they have about a 5.5lbs trigger pull that you can get down to 3 if you lucky without slam fires, they are non floated, practically glue to the stock, and the break just makes a lot of noise because a 308 is very mild in my opinion, plus they are a 22" 12 twist. A friend of mine has a vtr that I load ammo for, after trimming the stock and fully bedding it so its free floated and exstensive trigger work it shoots about .5-.7moa with 168 sierra match kings over 46grns of varget. I'm not biased I own remingtons, but I bought a take off barrel from a model 10 fcp and put it on one of my spare 110 actions, which it is a heavier contour 24" 10 twist, but it shoots the same load in the .3moa range, so id go with the savage and an egw 20 moa 1 piece base, some weaver tactical rings and a 6-24x50 Nikon Monarch if I were you. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
