Then you ended up looking foolish when their posts starting rolling in. Out-of-the-box vs your rifle with upgrades and you ended up with egg on your face. Your right about one thing though, theres a whole lot more to do then writing posts on HNI. Thats why I wont waste any more of my time with yours.

Wow... A 5 page already.
As far as my older Savage 110 in .308 - I LOVE IT! Back when I got a new Bushnell 3-9x40 scope mounted and boresighted, I hooked up with a buddy of mine with a solid bench rest to fine tune it. I couldn't believe the groups it got!
Savage rifles... Federal Cartridges... They are made for each other.
I don't have a scanned image of my target, but, I will say that at 100 yards, my Savage 110, locked into a bench rest, made sub-MOA groups, using Federal American Eagle 150gr rounds.

I would imagine that many of the Anti Remington people, many of which are Savage Fanatics judge things on far less and wouldn't know the difference anyway.
The rifle you use as an example is hardly stock "out-of-the-box." Not even close. The turning back the barrel and rechambering, and restocking with a full bedding job are what I'd consider major custom modifications. Lapping the lugs is a moderate modification. Precision handloading is also a major investment of time and money. This is work that most guys, including myself with the exception of handloading which I really don't have time to do anymore, but am well capable of, are not comfortable doing on their own for a variety of reasons, and how much would a competent gunsmith charge for said work? I'm betting you'd have almost as much into the parts and labor as the rifle was originally purchased for, all to shoot maybe 1/10" smaller groups than the bone stock Savage. If it's worth it to you to spend the time and money to achieve such paltry results, more power to you. But since I don't have a money tree in my back yard, I'll take my MUCH cheaper and very accurate Savage, and use the money I save to pay for the gas, food and beer so I can hunt in Minnesota this year with my brother. The deer will be just as dead if I shoot it with my rifle as it would be if you shot it with yours (provided that you can shoot when you don't have a bench and bags, that is), and the money I didn't have to spend to get my rifle to shoot well will afford me a few days of quality time with my brother who I'm lucky to see but once a year, and I'll finally get to meet my newest niece.
My point was, to those undecided sitting on the fence, is that you CAN get a Remington to shoot, and I've done much the same with factory Remmy's with far less mods than this one has............

Hey, if you're happy with your Remington then why slam other companies???? [&:]Remington and Savage both make nice firearms and it doesn't have to be one or the other.
