[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 672560, member: 25383"] Like I said, I love my 700VS, but it's quita bit removed from the 700 I took off the shelf one afternoon. Off the shelf it was a rock solid 4" group shooter with hand loads, and others couldn't even get that. Should have returned it to Remington, but I'm rather hard headed. So I virtually rebuilt the entire rifle. It shoots just under half inch groups, and has a near perfect balance for off hand shooting. I've heard that Remington redesigned their trigger again, and I hope so! Mine was a "J-lock gun", and I'd avoid them like sleeping with my mother inlaw. The nice thing about the Savage is the Accutrigger and the barrel nut. Down the road you decide you want a little more knock down power, so you buy a 6XC barrel and just neck up your old 22-250 cases to 6XC, or something else. The down side of the Savage is that they are somewhat heavier than the Remington.I like the laminate varmit stocks for shooting off bags or a rest. They ride a windage plate much better than most all production guns, but still leave a little to be desired (rear of the stock needs a redesign). The Savage has a better barrel than most Remingtons right outta the box, but I still wouldn't call them fantastic. Most of all I've never been in love with their thoughts on cartride selection! (and in some cases barrel twist rates). They are not super pretty like my 1885's, but they do shoot well gary [/QUOTE]
