[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1039825, member: 52437"] Mud...didn't mean to state that but you made it sound like if he got a Remington 5r, it would simply be a shooter out of the box with little to no modification accept the trigger which is probably true. I was just trying to state that with the remingtons I have bought of late, the triggers were trash as you just stated, so likely the OP would have to do something about that if he went the Remington route. He could either find an older style Remington 700 trigger and have a gunsmith lighten it(or he could lighten it himself if he wanted to attempt it) OR he would have to buy a timney/jewel. The savage comes with an excellent trigger out of the box. Yes they are somewhat weird with the little blade piece but I found it very easy to get use to. Just my experience between remingtons and savage out of the box...the savage is the way to go for a budget friendly person looking to get into long range plus you can change calibers easily. IF you want a rifle that will hold its value, has a multitude of aftermarket support, any gunsmith can work with, and you can slowly turn into a very very NICE custom...the Remington is the way to go. It just all depends on the OPs intentions. Again, I am by no means a savage fan boy, nor Remington. Nor am I a competition shooter AND you have actually helped me on a few other things I had issues with a few months ago so obviously you have more experience than me.
