RE: Remington 700 vs Savage 110
I have shot "tactial" setups of both the Remmy and the Savage at work, and I also bought a 7mmMag savage on sale at wallworld for $170 that shot sub-moa right out of the box. Based on performance alone, I would go with the Savage. I got better, more consistent results out of both Savages than out of any of the Remington's. Not that Remingtons were trash, just that I got better use out of the Savage in my experience. Fit and finish were similar on both, with the slight edge going to Savage. Remington had the better stocks, except my work rifle, which had a Mac stock.
I just bought a new bolt-action in .30-06. I got the sub-moa Weatherby, just to try something different. Plenty of good hardware out there, don't paint yourself in a corner based on stuff that gets tossed around the internet campfire. Get what fits you and your mechanics, and you can shoot well. And get it while it's still legal to own.
