As I said, Iv'e had a number of good Remingtons, a couple of them outstanding, but at present, my new 30-06 is a CZ American with the full length stock topped with a Burris Fullfield ll and it's definately a shooter. I just bought a CZ .22 also, so I guess there is life after Remington. Just feels strange because up until now, Iv'e always had a 700 in 06 and usually in a varmint caliber or a .300 also. But Iv'e talked to a lot of people and read a lot of reviews and really wanted the Mannlicher stock so went with the CZ's. I have heard, however, that the Savages are almost always accurate and dependable. From what the forum is saying, it sounds like the Savage would be the way to go. I'd suggest the CZ line, but they are a little pricey. I'll second going with the Savage----------
