I own a Remington 700 in 7mm mag, a 760 in 30-06 an 1100 in 20ga. I have never had any jams or problems with any of my guns. I don't know about the new guns, but the older ones have always been reliable. My 760 even got run over by a truck and still works fine. I bought a Savage in .17 cal last year. It shoots great, but like all other Savage rifles it is cheaply made. I should have spent the money and bought a Remington not a cheap Canadian made rifle from Savage.
