head to Cabela's, No Inter net at the inlaws I'll let everyone know about which rifle I got (or didn't) on Sunday or Monday.

Bought a rifle. and I was a little surprised at what I finally bought. Liked all of them. ended up with a 300 win mag, not the short mag I thought I would. almost bought the savage, love the feel they didn't have it in 300 any thing. the ruger is what a ruger is, not real pretty, and didn't like the safety, same for the winchester. the vanguard was nice didn't like the stock on the stainless/synthetic. the browning was just out of my price range. It came down to the Tikka t3 in and the Remington 700. love both. the Tikka had the nice action of the bunch and a good factory trigger. didn't like the scope rings just like every one else, but loved the weight and feel of the gun. What broke the deal was the plastic magazine clip. I could get my head around this. I know it helps with weight, but at $70 for a replacement, I could do it. they probably would last just fine, but I think I would have had problems. The Remington was the choice. great feel, nice action, like the placement of the safety,although a three stage safety would be nice, and at $599 it was easily as good a rifle as any of the rest. Only down side is they were out of bases for the scope so i will have to order some. can't wait to go shooting. Thanks again for every ones input. It only took 5 hour of looking and comparing rifle to decide.

well I know how shopping on Saturdays are, so I know you prob spend most of the time waiting on your number to be called .  Which model Remington did you get??  I'm sure it's a 700, but they make so many differnt Model 700's.

it wasn't too bad, we pulled a number looked at used guns, had our number called looked at new rifles, had lunch looked at scopes, pulled 2nd number looked at rifles again and bought a Rem700 sps stainless in 300 win mag. and a Leupold rifleman scope rings, still need bases they didn't have the right ones in stainless, and a sling

good to hear!!  I hear so many folks get upset for waiting too long for there numbers to be called.  Unfortunately, I'm on the wrong end of that scenario.

omg its too funny im laughing so hard about your story ml hunter.... rofl .. what was his finger doing on the trigger when he wasnt on his target.... ? Also bi pod..? noisy clanky weight ... wow they need to teach marksmanship in hunters ed... 10 rounds with a .22 isn't enough......yea i wear fingerless wool gloves as well ... have dropped 3 elk in some of the nastiest weather with frozen cold fingers as well....

He used a bi-pod, I don't have one on my rifle although thinking of putting one on.  Have no clue how he hit that part of the trigger...but it only takes ounces of weight to release the trigger.  Have you looked at the accutrigger on the savage?  If you haven't, go look at there triggers and then we'll talk.

I never wear gloves when hunting...unless there's snow on the ground, but never had and issue with gloves, then again I don't have an accutrigger on my muzzle loader.
