I'd get a a Savage if it weren't for the stock thing. I shoot left-handed, so on top of getting a left-handed rifle I'd need to find a nice LH stock with a cheekpiece on it.

Yeah I had a friend who's Remington 700 in 30-06 had the same problem. I'm sorry if Savage isn't good enough for some of you, but to compare a Savage rifle to the 710 is just ludicrous. I also apologzie for remarks made earilier, I just think that the 710 is the worst production rifle ever and to comoare it to any rifle is insane.

I have had a ton of Remington and Savage rifles. he new Savage rifles are built very well. I have the Savavge accu-trigger Varmit Model with the heavy fluted SS 26 inch barrel in 270 WSM Dime sise groups with factory loads right from the box. As a pure shooter, I would put them up against any factory rifle made today. After owning probably 40 Savage rifles and having only a few very minor problems, I am sold on them. Any problems I ever did have were fixed fast and right. Most of my rifles are Savage or Remington 700's. A few Brownings and Marlins make up the balance.

RE: REMINGTON GUY SWITCHING TO SAVAGE
HogHuntinChik, I agree with you when you say josh is a armchair quaterback! I took three of my Savage rifles to my range just yesterday and got a sub .75 group from my 270, a sub .5 group from my 223 and a 1.125 group from my 308, which should have went under .5 also, but when I fired it heat mirage was terrible and too my scope sucks. I have one Remington in my safe and it is a mod 7 in 243, a 2" grouper no matter what you feed it. I still like the way the rifle looks and handles, but it wont shoot for sh!t.
