The people who test guns over and over for a living know what they're talking about so their opinions should be welcomed.

That's presumptuous.
Sort of like saying a gun has the best trigger on the market because of just reading reviews as opposed to having the actual gun?

The sub MOA Vanguards are pretty accurate, keep in mind that if you prefer to buy american, the vanguard is a jap built rifle. FYI
They are onabout the same plateau.
The Savages have come along way aesthetically and are quite possibly the most accurate out of the box production rifle built...opinion only!

RE: Savage 110 vs Remington 700
I have a Savage .223 I would like to trade for a Remington 700 .223 if any of you Savage guys have one laying around. I also think that since Savages are more accurate, that you should throw in a little cash to boot. I know none of you Remington guys are gonna trade!

That's not what I was saying. Forming opinions through personal experience and researching what experts have to say are not mutually exclusive ways to go about shopping for a firearm; you can do both. The people who test guns over and over for a living know what they're talking about so their opinions should be welcomed.
In the end, it comes down to personal preference. Some people don't like Savage's Glock-like trigger and that's fine; other's do.

Well if you wanna base your opinion on gun rags which are obviously heavily influenced by advertising go right ahead. For my money though... having several different makes in the cabinet and having shot several more allows me to form a first hand unbiased experienced personal opinion...
Accu-triggers arent bad.... however the lawyer bar kills them. I much prefer the original 700 trigger slightly reworked. As far as factory unmolested the x mark pro is preferabble to the accu-trigger for me and the Timney has them all 3 beat for feel...
Dont own a Tikka or a Sako but Id imagine they are pretty good as well.

I own a Remm 700 adl, a Tikka light stainless, and a new Savage 116....all in .270. Haven't had a chance to shoot the new savage yet, but I can tell you that out of the three, the Remington had to visit the gun shop for a trigger job....horrible! The Tikka has a great trigger, and the Savage does as well....if you like the lawyer bar.
The Tikka and the Savage have the best FACTORY triggers I have ever felt.

With the Vangaurd the action just feels better..trig pull smoother....gun just feels all around better. I do not own a Savage but have held one.. and once they are side by side you will know what I mean. My Vanguard is in 300mag and shoots great..Leo VIII 4x12x50 and have taken it out west on elk hunt and performed awesome.

RE: Savage 110 vs Remington 700
I owned a Savage 110 and now have a Rem 700.The Savage I had was not what I'd call an accurate rifle.Oh,I killed a few deer with it but...On the other hand the Rem 700 is quite accurate and the last years models have a new trigger system.Works fine to me.Not trying to get into a this vs. that argument.Just an opinion.
