I don't know why everyone keeps bringing up the 710. Of all the rifles Remington makes the 710 is the cheapest piece of crap they make. Why not compare a Savage to a 700 or a 7600 or a model 7? I own both types of rifles and have never had an issue with either brand. Remington and Savage both make quality rifles. I lean more to Remington because they are made in the USA not Canada like Savage.

My only question is why do you have to switch? Buy both, use both. Who cares? I know what I'd pick, but I don't have to. I'll stick with my current plan, which is to own them all.

i have a savage 11G 223 just sited in to day 1in groupat 100yards
(ammo) hornady 55 grain V-MAX Moly not to bad after shoting 40 rounds throu my crapy remington 710 30-06 that got no better than a 6 inch group. a man tends to get a little triger shy with such a lite gun and a hefty round but thats ok next week i am tieing a brick on to the end of the barrle to weigh it down!!! it hasnt got the best of me quit yet.

but i will say my savage on the oquantrary to other belefs or what ever or how ever you spell it. my savage dos have one heck of a prity stock ( tiger maple ) lite in color and feals real comfortable. sorry i dont have any pictures yet.
