i am looking at the savage 12FV or the Remington 700 sps varmint. i know both are great guns but i cant decide between the two.i am going to becoyote hunting in MOand maybe some target shooting but nothing else.any points that might swing me in one way or the other? Thanks.

I have the Savage in the .223. I love the accu-trigger, but I don't love the gun. I'm gonna swap scopes on it this week to see if it's the scope. I have 2 Remington SPS's, one in .270, and one in 300 ultra mag. I had trigger jobs on both of them and they are my go to rifles. I've never shotthe Remington SPSVarmit series, but I love the SPS. I'm not sure what the varmit series triggers are like, but if they are like the regular SPS triggers, I would recommend a trigger job are changing triggers. Good luck and show us pics on what you decide!!!

I have to agree with Colorado about the trigger's. Personally I can take or leave the Accu-Trigger. I prefer a good crisp, adjusted Remington trigger-but to me it is a toss up. For me the problem with the Savage is their stocks. I just do not care for them. I also find it ironic that when Remington and Savage both use the same stock-the Savage rifle costs more?? I would go with the Remington, as long as you can get the twist rate you want. IMO Savage has the ear of the shooter's in their rifling twists.

There are a lot of different things to consider. Tom.
