Default RE: Most acurate bolt action

Quilly, from my own experience with Sakos they have outstanding materials and workmanship but have been disappointing in the accuracy department. I would take one on a wilderness hunt 40 miles frm the nearest road in a heartbeat though and not worry about them malfunctioning no matter the weather or conditions. I have owned A bolts and shot other Abolts that neighbors and friends have owned and can say they are probably the best out of the box gun I have ever shot and using both factory and handloads. If a savage can outdo them I would have to see it in person and I seriously doubt they can. Remingtons can be accurate also but they have never been near an A bolt accuracy wise unless I messed with the bedding and did a trigger job. That said I would never take a A bolt 40 miles from the nearest road on a wilderness hunt. Never owned a Savage and if they continue building their guns the way they do probably never will either, just something about them that makes my blood run cold must be the barrel nut,cheap trigger and floorplate/clip assembly.
