[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1210128, member: 74902"] Well. that kinda puts to Remington back on top doesn't it. For cost the karsten adjustable cheek rest on the Savage ~ $75 Brake and threading ~$150 Replace the Remy trigger with a Timney - ~$100 Now things are back in the same ballpark. Go with your gut. You like the stock on the Remy and that is not trival. You can replace the trigger later on the Remy, if you feel the need. Weight is about the same, Savage is about 1/2 LB lighter. That extra 1/2 lb is probably that extra 2" of barrel. :) And the extra weight will help with recoil. So you can throw the brake out the window. You can also add a stock pad for a little more cheek weld on the Remy. I do that on some rifles. I even take a piece of that water pipe wrap stuff under it to get that perfect feel. You definitely want your eye to go right back to the same place easily and comfortably in a long range rig. If the Remy feels right, go for it. [/QUOTE]
