Well, I would get a X-Bolt or a Savage over a Remington any day. However, I don't know that the X-Bolt is that much better than a Savage. Depends on what you want really. If you want a accurate great rifle at a great price the Savage is the way to go. However, the Brownings look a lot nicer and that seems to be what you pay for. Either would be a wonderful choice. Just basically comes down to if it's worth the extra for the looks.
