Im fairly new to centerfire rifles. Im going to be purchasing my first rifle fairly soon. I have my selection down to 2 choices. These choices were decided on a few things obviously feel, brand quality, and for me most importantly Cost. The two im looking at are the Savage 11series with a 3x9 scope .223 with accutriger for $450, and the Remington 700 SPS varmint .223 with a 4x12 scope for $550. This gun will be used primarly for plinking, yotes, and ground hog. Has anyone had either of these rifles, and what are you thoughts.
