[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 550463, member: 1521"] Gunsmiths grow up on fixing Remingtons. It's what ANY gunsmith knows, and there is enough aftermarket and gunsmithing tools to make Rem gunsmithing a no brainer. Throw something else into the mix(anything else) & you lose some gunsmiths. Fortunately, you don't need any gunsmithing/repairs for Savages. You can rebarrel them & change the boltheads yourself, change the stocks yourself, lap rings yourself. Though I would have any gun bedded by someone known skilled in this specific area(which is NOT a general gunsmith). I like BAT actions combined with Jewel because they're just so **** precise & standardized. But as far as function, I believe Savage is superior. The floating bolthead, the fine thread preloading AWAY from the boltface, their CRPF & standing blade ejection(with WSM actions), and accutrigger just put a lot of good probabilities their way. And there is quite a bit of aftermarket in Savages these days. Savage has put efforts toward end user performance, they always have,, and Remington has not. No wonder **some** gunsmiths would dislike them.. [/QUOTE]
