My father bought me a Rem 788 in 308 Win for Christmas when I was 13 years old and I still do like Remingtons(even still have that 788 some 23yrs later), but I have also had Winchester's (M70) that I liked. I do own one Weatherby and it's a nice gun. The only gun which I have owned and am not crazy about is Ruger and that's because I couldn't get it to shoot decent groups no matter what I tried. I have never owned a Savage or a Sako yet, but there's plenty of time left to try them out when I get the money.
