remingtion vs savage

[jrebel]

Savage all the way....I have always loved my savages and they have been some of the most accurate guns I've owned.  It used to be an economical gun becuses they were not as pretty as others, but they are working hard on changing that stigma.  I would buy a new savage over almost any other maker.

I have both. Both work equally well. Both guns have lighter trigger pulls, 2.5-3 lbs. Both shoot very well. Both are equally priced with scopes, $ 1,000ish.

I can seldom see a coyote at 500 yards let alone 1000. I can make the 300 yard shots consistentely but farther than that is LUCK. In normal field conditions. Coyotes are small targets. I just don't see the point of some fancy rifle my 223 or 243 tikka lite stainless are both deadly.

If you were going to spend $1200, you could just about build a rem for that....$400 for a donor, $350 for a tube, $250-300 for a stock, $250-300 for smithing. A trigger and cerakote could add another $250-300.....but you would have a rifle that you know would shoot, it would be what you want and how you want it.

Savage all the way   I own 3 Savages, and one stevens. Those 4 guns have never let me down.  Wish I could say the same about my Remington.

I have never had luck with savages, the ones I have been around have been junk. I am not a huge remington fan even though I own plenty. I would take remington over savage any day.

If you're buying it brand new and it doesn't perform to standard then ship it out. Why not tikka? They have that nifty guarantee.

my remington 870 developed its issue when I tried to use it for duck hunting   I find out from others on the web that the 870 had some issues

i've got an old remington and a newer remington as well as a few savage's.  The old remington is better put together than the newere one which has fitting issues with the bolt handle. The older 700 shoots better as well despite not fitting me as well.

The savage's are great bang for the buck and have a whole slew of aftermarket parts which is probably only outdone by the remington aftermarket parts. The cool thing about the savages is that you can change calibers in your living room with about 35$ in hand tools and a new barrel. They are very accurate as well.

Savage FTW

the 300 bucks you would save by buying the savage could go towards a very important part of the puzzle...... a scope.

I went out again and looked and looked again and then looked some more but I still can't make up my minde. Now I high country got me thinking about biulding a coustom gun, i have the doner and the stock, what should I do? Guess it couldn't hurt to call a few gunsmiths up and get some quot, and thanks for everybody's help.

heck, if your going custom you might as well go all the way.  it can be cheapers since the smithing fees will be reduced.
