I have four of the Remington 700's and one 870. I love my Remingtons. I have owned one Savage 30.06 in the past. I killed several elk and deer with it. I do not think they would have been any deader if I would have shot them with my Remingtons. I only own one Savage now in .223(front left of picture). I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon, because it is a shooter. I like them both, Remington's and Savage's, and would buy either one depending on how I felt at the time.
