[QUOTE="RUMBALL, post: 713220, member: 53976"] Hi Guys, Interesting little debate here I was wanting to purchase a savage 12 lpv 1.9 twist after talking to my gunsmith he sais go for it he loves them he himself is a benchshooter so they must be ok. Now in saying this I use sako 22-250 shoots in the 2s lovely rifle. I also shoot a tikka t3 laminate in 270 that also shoots in the 2s these to rifles are factory untouched. I have rem sendeo 300 rum bedded,trigger and lugs lapped yet to get this rifle to shoot solid groups at this stage the metal work is not that tidy. I also have 5r 308 milspec metal is a better standard of finish yet to shoot this rifle and I will say this both rifles have jammed up cycling ammo to be rectified by gunsmith. I also have a savage thumbhole 17hmr shoots like a laser but the action feels like its full of beach sand but in saying that this rifle is at the low budget end of things. I have fiddled with the upper market rifles from savage and they are much better. So for me the sako and tikka are the smoothest actions I have cycled in factory form as far as remington they are not that smooth about as smooth as my sav 17hmr. I personaly think for me I wont be buying anymore rems I shall keep the ones I have no doubt but from now on it will be savage or sako and tikka. I think all rifle brands will have hiccups now and then but remington is lacking in quality control and is becoming a known I hope they lift their game as they are a bit of an icon and have a long history. Cheers Rumball. [/QUOTE]
