A good one or a bad one can come from any of them, and a grand ain't what it used to be.
I'm not sure what it really matters what most of us think. Most of us probably don't have a lot of experience with every one of them. For me, I don't own any Remingtons or Savages
But I do own Brownings, they both shoot sub-moa, so my vote is Browning

I have several Remingtons, one Browning and one Savage. All of the Remington's shoot well, the browning shoots better. Now I will add an important factor here. All of those guns I bought and used before I reloaded. So factory ammo was all they saw.
The savage is a LRHunter hay I bought a few years ago and it by far shoots the best. But I also hand load for it. It's hard to call it a fair comparison like that, however I don't believe the other guns would shoot better with hand loads. The savage shoots one hole at 100 and around 1" at 500.

In my group we shoot a Remington vtr in .223, a savage lrp in .260, and two savage ba, one is a .308 and the other a .338l. All of these rifles bug hole 5 shot groups at 100 and have been good out to at least 1k accuracy wise. I have had OK luck with tikka as well being sub moa but currently I only have savage and it will stay that way for bolt guns.
Because factory guns are so 'hit and miss', you will probably get a wide variety of opinions including mine.....Savage
I don't shoot factory loads except in my 204's. I reload for them now but factory hornady 204 ammo was amazing out of my savage 10 predator 204. Still is but I reload.
I have not had rifle yet that didn't shoot .5 or less on hand loads. Most are savages, several are remingtons.

Also a lot depends on the skill level of the individual.
The ability to tell what the rifle wants, load accordingly, and also shoot.

Browning A-Bolts are really nice with handloads from the factory.
Remington has some good options. And if you don't mind a heavy barrel, the new 700 Long Range would be an excellent option, and is offered in several different calibers to suit your needs.

Wow. Sorry about your luck. My stock savage shoots like this ....3 shots 105 yards.
