[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1039811, member: 52437"] I politely disagree to a small extent. The newer factory Remington triggers simply suck. Between the one I bought, the 2 my father bought and the 2 my friend bought...all after the recall...NONE of them get below 4lbs trigger pull. Can you adjust below that by taking the trigger group out and modifying...maybe. I know there are youtube videos showing this but I didn't want to attempt it and bought a timney trigger which I am VERY pleased. So I would say at the least he will either need to buy a new trigger or make the internal adjustments himself. That is just my experience with 5 post recall remingtons. For accuracy, out of the 5, mine was the only one that would not shoot well. After bedding the recoil lug, the thing shoots great! Bedding the recoil lug was EASY! In my opinion, and again I am by no means a super long range shooter or competition shooter but if you are simply going for shooting out to targets at 1000yards for fun and hunting out to say 600+ yards then both savage and remingtons are fine and I would give edge to savage for higher chance of out of box accuracy and best bang for your buck, especially if you want to change calibers later. Switching barrels is simply easy, cheap, and pretty fun. If your intentions are to eventually include some competitions or further distances, then the Remington is the way to go. More after market support. Gunsmiths are easily able to work on Remington actions. You can turn a Remington into a nice custom for competition. This will be my plan for my current Remington. After I shoot out the current barrel, I will have a gunsmith true up/blue print the action and rebarrel the rifle. I will then probably invest in a nice manners or McMillan stock. [/QUOTE]
