Best out of box rifle under 1000.00?

[jasnt]

I'd go with your Savage LRH over the Remington....   fewer recalls.     

I've always loved the rem's but their triggers are garbage!  Haven't shot a savage with a good factory trigger either.  Most these factory triggers this days are junk. To heavy, lots of creep, inconsistent. Try a good timmeny or jewel and you'll never want to go back.

The best accurate, out of the box rifle, with zero tweaks, is my Savage Model 16, 6.5 Creedmoor. I shot it at a steel plate, 825 yards and hit the target 2 times. I'm sure your new Savage 300wsm will do the same thing............

Find a good cheap action and buy the barrel you want timney trigger and a stock you like.   You might be surprised

Ha! This should be good. I've shot 300.00 Savage factory rifles that have shot as well as some 2600.00 custom builds I have had done. Both easily under half MOA. 

I'd hate to upset anyone....... but when I build a rifle I base it on a Remington.....
When I want a rifle to shoot with very minimal fuss, I buy a savage with the accutrigger. I dont care for the accustock though. My Savage 204 is silly accurate. The 7-08 has made me want one of my own...... my son is a lefty.. he shoots it very well.
I wish Tikka made a short action for SA calibers and had less plastic on the bolt head.

If the bbl is smooth, trigger can be worked over, skim bed and free float.. sometimes work is fun.
I have had rifles (factory Rem and Win) couldn't get to shoot, I traded or sold them to someone maybe some what less demanding.
Ive also had a boat paddle stocked and braked 338 Win Ruger that shot bug hole groups.
I sold it cause it was too long for timber crawling.

Buy what point's well, you'll be ok

Have you shot a Savage with the Accu-Trigger?    Pretty sweet, right out of the box, IMHO.

Rem lr 700.  7 mm or 300wm cabellas  $699.00

I was going to say  my co-worker has this gun in 300 win and I have seen the targets from it, and it shoots great. they are on the heavy side but the last thing you want in a long range gun is ultra light weight. Both my boys shoot tikka's (270wsm & 300wsm) I will NEVER own a Tikka magnum  i have tried hand loading for the tikka's but with their short mag length the closest I can get to the lands is .095, so you can't even fine tune a hand load.

I have heard that a lot! Savage is working really hard at making very good shooting rifles for a decent price.

yes I have. Doesn't even compare to a timmeny

Ruger m77 mkII's/Hawkeyes.

These are my first choice for a dedicated hunting gun. I've never owned or shot a Remington or Savage that cycled as smooth as the newer Ruger Hawkeyes. Plus the new Rugers are proving to shoot extremely well.

If you plan on doing any upgrades like a stock or trigger, then I like the Savages. There just aren't as many options for the Ruger.

REM 700 and put the rest in to trigger and good chasi. Good rule of thumb is spend the same on your glass as the rifle. That said I love my vortex viper PST!!!! Good glass,tracks true, and has taken a BEATING!!!!

Then you have a rifle that shoots as good as a $400 savage!!

that's funny right there!  I was pointing out  that I didn't go by the good rule of thumb.  That scope is sitting on top of a REM 700 sps varmint 26" in a XLR Industry's chasi. 

the acu-trigger is pretty good for a factory trigger. But can't even run in the same race as a timmeny. 
thanks for the laugh tho

I was talking about the need to change parts on a Remington to get it to run with a Savage.

[Dan-o]

There's a reason people like their Remington's......   

With aftermarket triggers..........

And aftermarket stocks............

And barrel work..............

But you are right:   After all of that, they will run with an out-of-the-box Savage.

correct me if I'm wrong but I don't know of a $400 savage with an acu triger. Maybe the mark2 22lr? 
I'm not hating on savage, I just never found a factory trigger (including the acu-tigger) that I like.  I'm sure I'm not alone. An aftermarket trigger will improve any factory rifle.
