RE: Ruger, Winchester, or Remington bolt action?
 

I guess I'm one of the bias Ruger people.I have several M-77's and love them. Granted the triggers need to be reworked. The Tikka's have a great adjustable trigger right out of the box. I'm also bias about the 270 Win. cartridge.It's a great whitetail cartridge which I've shot many with it.Like mentioned hold and feel as many different rifles as you can and see which feels right to you. What I like and feels good my be a bad choice for you.Not to open another can of worms. Remington's quality as gone way down over the last several years.Just for that reason I would look elsewhere.Good luck in your selection.

I'm with Treedog here! I love my Winchesters! The triggers need a little tweeking, but as its been said before, most any new gun comes with a "Lawyer Trigger" these days!

RE: Ruger, Winchester, or Remington bolt action?
 

First of all buy what feels right to you. Pleasing yourself is the number one concern forget others opinions, cuz all are solid choices. While one may say ruger are the best, the next may say rem, wins, tikka, savage and so on.

Personally I like detachable mags, so I look for the manufacturers who have this feature. I do own ones with hinge in winchester, ruger as well. I personally have not had a problem with a single remington I have owned and would say they are an excellent choice. However many others are good choices too, best advice is suit down and decide what you like and want. Follow that by handling the short list and the one that say pick me...BUY:D

I like my Browning a-bolt II

RE: Ruger, Winchester, or Remington bolt action?
 

I have 3 M700's soon to be 4. Triggers were not good out of box...but that is easily fixed. Got mine all set to 3.5 pounds. I dont know much about the others but I'm sure they are all good stuff. Only thing I have ever had any trouble out of in a rifle is a Weatherby.......NEVER again!

RE: Ruger, Winchester, or Remington bolt action?
 

SAVAGE!!!!!:D

RE: Ruger, Winchester, or Remington bolt action?
 

Doe Dumper,

What problems did you have with your Weatherby? Which model?

RE: Ruger, Winchester, or Remington bolt action?
 

A vote for the Savage. Just bought a new one with AccuTrigger, Model 116 Stainless in 7mm Rem Mag.

RE: Ruger, Winchester, or Remington bolt action?
 

bb122 It's a Vanguard 7mm Mag. Beautiful gun but it sems to misfire more than it will fire. I dunno it must be something wrong with the firing pin. I bought it used...so the warranty isnt an option. I dont really need it...bought it in 85 and its just been a cabinet queen ever since. Weatherby is probably a good gun...I just got a lemon...lol. The problem is when you squeeze the trigger it will just click and you can work the bolt and try it again and sometimes it will fire the 2nd time.

RE: Ruger, Winchester, or Remington bolt action?
 

Remington Model 700 or Savage. The Remington triggers are not hard to adjust yourself but if you feel you don't want to tackle the job any competent gunsmith should be able to adjust it for you. Savage has the accu-trigger and it's very simple to adjust.
