[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1039858, member: 52437"] honestly I don't think you will be disappointed with either. Just another thought... again if you ever think you will resell the rifle...get the Remington. They hold their value....especially the 5r! If you will want to tinker/rebarrel yourself go for the savage. If you want to truly do long range and build a SWEET rifle over time...go Remington but it will cost you just a bit more in gunsmithing costs for rebarreling. I didn't mean to scare you away from remingtons. it will likely shoot great out of the box BUT yes savages are known lately for their out of the box accuracy. I LOVE to tinker and build rifles on the cheap side of cost so building savages is really fun for me but if I was going to do an ultra serious build which might later involve a really really nice manners/McMillan stock, I would definitely do it with a Remington action. Mudrunner appears to have a LOT of success with his remingtons right out of the box. My Remington was not so successful but after a quick recoil lug bedding it now shoots well. [/QUOTE]
