Mud if Remington isn't paying you they should be. You probably sell more of their rifles than their top salesman. Your passion for the 700 is second to none, which is understandable with all the good luck you have had with Remington.
The 300 win is more pleasurable rifle to shoot all day than the 338, and it is also more economical. The 338 just has the cool factor. (Longest kill shot ever made by a sniper) The 300 win will blow the doors off a 308 but if it were me I would go 338.
Either the Remington or the Savage will serve your needs. The Remington needs a new trigger and there are a lot of aftermarket parts for the Remington. To me the Remington is a smoother action and has a more appealing look than the Savage. The Savage has more flexibility to change calibers if that interests you. You will also be able to get the savage in any similar configuration for cheaper than the Remington.
Thanks, I just know what works for me and never failed me. I don't try to sell Remingtons, I just get tired of hearing all the BS about them. So I try to make folks aware of the TRUTH about them, instead of all internet BS and propaganda. You hear a lot more people b****ing about the ones that don't shoot, compared to the ones who are praising the rifles that do.
Yes, the Remingtons do all need new triggers thanks to all those lawsuits, they have now made them semi-idiot proof, but now they're also (IMO) user-proof, too. They're just trashcan fodder and should be replaced. Unless you're used to using a Mosin Nagant, the triggers feel like a tree limb breaking.
I applaud people's passion for the Savages, but don't go around saying one rifle is junk, and "NEEDS" blah blah blah to make it shoot, just because it's not your favorite brand. Last time I checked none of the Savages come bedded from the factory either, so both brands will need that to ensure the action is properly seated. I hate the Accutrigger, so IMO, both brands need the new triggers immediately, too. Both brands will need to be sure the barrels are floated. And both will require handloads to get the very best accuracy out of either of them. Every brand has lemons, every brand has shooters. Nobody makes a truly perfect "out of the box" rifle. The closest I've ever owned to a perfect out of the box rifle was my 2 Browning A-Bolt II's. The first got stolen, the 2nd the barrel got shot-out, so I had to put a new one on it, and had it all refitted and trued while the tube was off. Browning A-Bolt rifles came bedded from the factory to ensure accuracy. Which is why the Brownings shoot so well, even in the cheap rubbermade stocks. The 3-lug design is also nice, and the actions are very smooth and refined. The 60* bolt throw is also extremely nice. The Remingtons are not 100% perfect IMO, there is some things I'd change, like that really high bolt throw that pushes your thumb into the scope rings. I would change that for sure. And I'd also do something about their factory offered triggers, and try to find a better solution to those horrific XMP's they are so fond of...
So, while people are complaining how much work the Remingtons need to make them shoot, the Savages are in the identical situation. Just a different name brand on the side of the action...
Albeit, none of them are the BA.
