RE: OK another opinion question
I also prefer a Rem. 700 over the Savage....
Some notes here: Long ago, in fact long before Rem. ever made 700's with DBM i converted one of my 700's to DBM. I think it was a waste on a 700 "hunting" rifle... And i don't like it...
I like 22" bbls over 24" bbl.
I'm not fond of the accutrigger at all. I also have never had a 700 trigger that couldn't be adjusted to anything i wanted.
From the guns that i've looked at lately, i would buy a Rem. 700 "mountain" rifle...

RE: OK another opinion question
There are many arguments over what I am about to say, but IN MY OPINION, it is really tough to find an American made rifle that has the fit, finish, and function of a European made gun. Since I have started shooting Blasers and Sauers, I have sold all my Remingtons and nearly all my Rugers. There is just no comparison.
