I just ordered a 700 CDL because I love the look and feel of them and I already have all the stainless/synthetic stock rifles I want. I had a Savage model 16 Weather Warrior w/accu-trigger that I sold a couple years back. The only complaint I had with the rifle was the synthetic stock. It was the weakest and cheapest synthetic stockI have ever felt on a rifle that actually fires bullets! I almost bought a laminate replacement stock for it but let a friend talk me out of it.

I was pondering the same question a few weeks back. I ended up buying the savage with accutrigger in 300 win mag and couldn't be happier. It was about $400 cheaper than a remington and will shoot better out of the box. I am taking the money I saved to put an awesome scope on it.

I picked up a Savage model 12 in .22-250 for my wife for 200 bucks from a pawn shop, actually I got the receipt from my father in law because he wasn't going to go get it back. So I got a steal on it. I'm very impressed with the accu-trigger this one has been adjusted down pretty low and is nice and crisp. Much better than the one on my mossberg, but it was a 250 dollar rifle new lol.

I like the looks of the 700-CDL and the Model 700 LSS.
What caliber are you thinking about?

If I had my pick of any, I'd get one of the new Winchester Supergrades in 30-06. Beautiful rifles that will hold their value rock steady and eventuallyappreciate if kept in nice shape.

I have a Rem 700 BDL 300 saum. I like the 300's so I was thinking about a 300WSM. Maybe these two calibers are too similiar to each other? Maybe a 300 WM?? Don't really want a 30-06 or a 270, just not interested in either of those caliber. Anyone ever seen a BDL synthetic and SS?
