[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 955443, member: 23486"] Remington has always been held in high esteem however, there are many out there who feel they are lagging behind several producers in the accuracy/quality department. I'd probably make my decision in a similar order to this: 1) Custom, if you can afford it. Cruising the classifieds can produce a great rifle for a dern good price, [B][U][I]if[/I][/U][/B] you're patient. 2) [I][U]Savage Arms.[/U][/I] [B]Pros-[/B] American made (very important to me). Usually stupid accurate out of the box. Better feeling target "style" trigger than the new Remington. Fastest lock time in the industry. Nearly as many accessories available as Remington. Several available models. [B]Cons-[/B] Can experience extraction issues after a long life (very easy to fix). Stiffer bolt lift than any of the others. 2) [I][U]Tikka[/U][/I] [B]Pros-[/B] Very Slick action. Good looking. Usually [U]very[/U] accurate. [B]Cons-[/B] Not as much aftermarket support. Usually come with a pencil barrel. Non-American company (IIRC). Not as many models available. 3) [I][U]Remington[/U][/I] [B]Pros-[/B] There is nothing you can't replace via the aftermarket world. Great CS. Many, Many models available. C[B]ons-[/B] Lacking Quality Control. The SPS stock is garbage & should be (IMHO) replaced immediately adding extra cost. Just a very quick comparison from the top of my head. t [/QUOTE]
