[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 34952, member: 10"] Iron worker, First the name of my business is: Allen Precision Shooting #99 Stevenson Rd. Fort Shaw, MT 59443 Personally, as an extreme accuracy minded gunsmith, I prefer the Remington but only on the basis of building on those actions. As far as factory rifles go and using them as they come out of the box, the Sako rifles have no flies on them at all. I like the looks of a Rem 700 over a Sako but I will freely admit that on average, the Sako would probably shoot a bit better then a stock Rem. That said, with both rifles are tuned and tweaked to extract top accuracy potential, the Rem will win hands down simply because of the huge array of aftermarket products designed to increase the accuracy and consistancy of the Rem 700 rifles. I have played with the 700 LV a little. The one I shot was a 22-250 as well. My feelings are that they are definately light and one could easily carry them a fair ways but I feel they are just a bit to light. I like the stability of a little weight, even in a walking varmitn rifle. My personal walking varminter is a Ruger M77 stainless/laminated sporter with a 22" factoy barrel. loaded with the 40 gr Ballistic Tip at 4100 fps, it has few peers when it comes to popping critters up to the size of big coyotes out as far as I will ever need to shoot with such a rifle. Still if I were to build myself a walking varminter, it would be a 700 short action with a 24" Lilja #2 or #3 contour and stocked in a Holland Signature laminated sporter stock. The chambering would either be a 223 rem AI or the 22-250 AI. The 700 LV I shot was a decent shooter, I did not measure groups but I would say it averaged less them moa which for such a light weight rifle is not all bad from the factory. Still, from a factory list of rifle, the actual differences would be very slim comparing the Rem and the Sako. Its really a personal preference thing. I would go with a little heavier rifle such as the standard 700 sporter over the LV. Just like a little more weight even for a walking rifle. Good Shooting!! Kirby (50) [/QUOTE]
