i ordered a new rifle the other day. i had to decide on a remington or savage myself. i wanted a varmit rifle with a heavy barrel in 243. both rifles i looked at were about the same as far as price but i decided to go with the remington sps varmit. most of the rifles i own are remington so this was a plus in the decision. i also ordered a leupold vx1 scope to put my rifle. hope this combination turns out to be a tack driver. any comments welcome.
