[QUOTE="just browsing, post: 1068112, member: 87559"] Fact of the matter is that both rifles will outshoot you from the factory. Accuracy is going to be very comparable, and which is "better" all boils down to personal preference. There's a lot of hype surrounding 5-R barreling, but I've yet to see one outperform a Savage. This is one of those instances where you really can't go wrong with either of your options. One thing I will say about the Remington is that the X-Mark trigger is complete and utter crap. So if that's the route you do decide to take, I would switch it out for a Timney or Jewell trigger asap. Might as well bed the action while you're in there. Adjusting the accutrigger on the other hand is a breeze and feels just as good as any other trigger I've felt. Fwiw, my decision was between the two same exact rifles (in .300wm) and ultimately came down to which I could get cheaper and which one was in stock. [/QUOTE]
