RE: 700 classic or Savage
I just happen to have a 700 Classic in 7mm-08. I will tell you that I had no trigger work done,however I did glass bed the action myself and it shoots good groups. I did have problems with factory ammo, but my handload works great. If I do my job it shoots under 1.25 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards. I have personally NEVER seen a Remington shoot the groups described above. I do have to add that I've always been a big fan of Savages too. So I'm not just defending Remingtons due to a bias opinion. I guess I didn't help you a bit.
