The Savage or the Nosler
Hi folks, New to the forum and looking for some rifle Info. I am looking at the Savage Model 111 Long Range Hunter or the Nosler 48 Trophy grade rifle. Looking for any one who might have some info on the pros and cons of each rifle. It will be in 300 Win Mag. Thanks for all the help. Sean

Hi Jeepkid, I can get the Savage for 800 and the Nosler for 1350 to 1400. I would like to stay under 1500. I have also been looking at the Hart Custom Factory Rifle but then im geting into 2400. I would like a rifle I could play around with at 600 yds. I got some room on the Farm to shoot.

I like Savage fine, but..................Nosler is just a whole lot more gun (quality).

The only thing about the Nosler is the lack of presence in the aftermarket whereas something like the Savage 110 or Remington 700, two rifles which many people consider to be lame or "boring", offer a lot of opportunities for customization. Also, for $1500 you could just about build your own long range rig, so to me the Nosler is neither fish nor foul. I know you didn't mention it, but you could also look at the Remington 700P in .300 WM, which is purpose built for long range sniping/shooting, it is around the price of the Savage.

I have and always have had the Rem 700 BDL in 300 Mag. You are right about the custom work all the custom shops in my area start with the Rem action. I was also looking at the Rem Model 700 XCR Tactical Long Range rifle. I have yet to find anyone who has that model in my area.

If your only consideration is accuracy I would bet on the Savage for accuracy. You could also spend the savings to buy much better glass also.
If you consider fit finish and looks first, and you like the look and fit and finish of the Nosler then go for it.
If you have not looked at the Kimber 8400 you may want to consider it. My buddy has 4 Kimbers now and they all good shooters and look great also.
