Help would greatly be appreciated
I have been researching two brands savage vs. Remington everywhere I go there is 101 various responses. I am looking for a vary accurate gun that is affordable, I prefer the lowest possible trigger pull. I have looked at the savage 16fxp3 and love the look of the stainless steal, but also I looked at a Remington 700 SPRG W/r3 both in 30-06. Preferences would be greatly appreciate
Thank you,

I ama remington man. Why because I don't like the action of the savage. But will honestly say, your chances of getting a better out of box accuracy is with the savage. I know this but still go with the remingtons. And I then usually do alot of work on them to get them the way I want.

You can take it down well below 3lbs. I wouldn't want to go lighter than 2lbs on a guns unless its a benchrest competition gun and you are not going to get that type of gun for the money you are talking.
But I also can adjust my remington triggers to 2.5lbs also with no problems. Little more difficult but once you do one or two, its a snap.

This is more of a question of which on fits you better. Savage is prob gonna be a little more accurate but its not going to be noticable when hunting, and there triggers are easliy adjusted. Remington's fits me better then Savage's. I have on of both in 30-06 and pick up the Remington before the Savage anyday. I got lucky and have a 710 that very accurate and i never have any problems with it. I got it as a starter rifle for the mountains so i dont beat up a good rifle and its held together very well. I put a new scope on it and mounts and it shoots 3/4in groups at 100 yards.

LOL, and the $150 for the scope. IM more worried about the scope on it then the gun itself. Its only a cheap BSA but it like the scope alot for some reason. I dropped it down a mountain 150 feet during bear season. I started to slide in the rock and let it go so i could grab onto something. Got some scratches but still shoot fine.
