I have a couple of both...Savage .220 swift and a .30/06. I also have two Remington .300s. Both of my Remingtons have failed me...the first was a broken extractor....two days before we were leaving for elk season. Lucky for me the bolt from my other 700 checked with the smithy and I was able to use it. The failed bolt was sent off to the same gunsmith for a Sako style extractor. The second bolt (same one) failed when the handle came off...this time it was a week before leaving for elk season. To their credit, Remington offered to fix it...but, they would only solder it back on. It was apparent that the original solder job was bad. I decided to have it fixed by having a gunsmith drill/tap/solder.

Neither of my Savages have failed. And both are very accurate.
