which 30-06
 

Iam thinking of buying a new 30-06 stainless steel with a synthetic stock. I looked the Remington 700 SPS and Savage Weather Warrior 116 FHSS. Dont know what to do, any input?

RE: which 30-06
 

all i can say is that savage is nice and accurate outta the box.

RE: which 30-06
 

I have a Ruger M77 MKII SS in 30-06 and love it. Put a Hogue OM stock, Nikon Monarch 3-9x40 and Harris bi-pod on. Total package is a little heavy, but steady and accurate. I'm sold on Ruger quality. Good luck with whatever you chose.

I like my Tikka T-3 hunter.............

RE: which 30-06
 

You can't go wrong either way, the Remington 700 SPS is a great gun, and the Savage is a great shooter.

RE: which 30-06
 

I would go savage. Less money and will be accurate right out of the box. Love the accutrigger too.

RE: which 30-06
 

SPS!!!!!!!!! :D

RE: which 30-06
 

+1 on the Ruger M77 MkII SS, same caliber also. Mine has the pre-2001 stock (recessed) Weaver 3x9-40. Wouldn't happen to know where I might find another one of those stocks do you? Getting kind rough finding one.

RE: which 30-06
 

I got another vote for the Tikka. I love mine:D

The Ruger M77 MKII, excelent quality rifle for the same price as that Remington SPS with a little lower quality. But if you're set on either Remington or Savage I would have to give the nod to Ruger then Remington = - )

RE: which 30-06
 

Have you looked at the Remington XCR I really like mine in 300WSM

RE: which 30-06
 

SPS

RE: which 30-06
 

Put both the rem and the savage in your hands and see which fits you the best. go with that gun. they will both serve you well.

RE: which 30-06
 

This spring I was trying choose between the SPS Stainless, Stainless Weatherby Vanguard, Ruger All weather, and Savage Weather Warrior. I ended up with the Stainless SPS in .300wsm topped with a Zeiss 4.5X14 X44mm. Its a great rifle.

I shot three deer with it this fall. Too much gun for deer, but a great rifle none the less. Obviously my recommendation is the SPS

RE: which 30-06
 

The SPS is one of the best values in a hunting rifle out there. If it fits you, that would be my choice.

RE: which 30-06
 

There is NO way I wouls select a savage over a remington 700.

RE: which 30-06
 

SPS for sure between the two, but like mentioned, I would take a good look at the XCR if you don't mind the extra money. I'm assuming you want stainless for the exact reason the XCR was made.

RE: which 30-06
 

Like mentioned prior handle both and go with the one that fits and feels best to you.

Since you asked our opinion I am with the SPS crowd;)

There's one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ruger-77-MKII-Factory-Stock-Synthetic-Skeleton_W0QQitemZ300062067872QQihZ020QQcategoryZ7 3951QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

RE: which 30-06
 

I've owned alot of rifles over the years and the SPS is as good or better than any of them. JMHO

RE: which 30-06
 

Remington over Savage every time!

RE: which 30-06
 

My local range has a Ruger M77 MkII SS with the recessed stock in 7mm Rem Mag. It is very slightly used and they are wanting $475 for it.

Do you like the recessed stock? It looked like it would carry a pretty heavy recoil to me.

If you are interested let me know and wecould possiblywork something out.

The old stock kicks like a mule......
