Just out of curiousity, Iv'e owned at least four Remington 700's and at least three different Remington .22's, all of them outstanding shooters and very accurate. In short, nothing but respect for the Remingtons. What is it about the 770 that has earned it so much bad press? Never had one so I have no idea. What about them was wrong? I had a used Savage in .223 for awhile and it wasn't much to look at, but it was very accurate, also, very heavy with out a bull barrel. It would not however, out shoot the 700's, so why so much favoritism for the Savages? Are they really that much better?----------
