[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 103057, member: 8843"] I'm a diehard Rem fan but for the money the Savage is definatly a better shooter , it has a better barrel , the floating bolthead helps alot when the action hasen't been worked. I have seen and worked on 6 Savages that were turds from the factory all six went from 2-3" shooters at 100yds to sub 1" guns all with a simple headspace adjustment and proper bedding and barrel floating. 5 of these guns were heavy barreled varmint type rifles and their groups were in the honest 1/2" range with handloads. the one sporter rifle was a 270Winchester and the owner only shot factory ammo . EVERY BVSS I have seen owned and shot would out shoot every other major factory gun I have ever shot. I have shot a couple coopers a Dakota and a few other "semi-custom" factory guns And the Savage makes one hell of a action to build on as good as a Rem and if built properly will shoot with the best of any other built actions. NOTE: I have several actions here that will be custom hunter/target rifles soon and none are Savages [/QUOTE]
