I think there are alot of good bolt guns out there. Try as I might, I just can't get into getting all carried away with one brand. I have had very good luck with the Rem 700, but not all that I have shot by any means. I have more Mod. 700's in my safe than any other & I only keep accurate ones. I have 2 Sendero's, the 300 was an extreme shooter from the start, in fact my first 3 shot group at 500 yds with it was approx. 1.5", but my 25-06 was so-so in my view until I had it "Ackleyed" by a very good Smith & he also skim bedded & other things & it is a .25" shooter now. I have a stock 308VS that is the same way, right off. I have a plain ADL in 270 that made a .187" group with my first 140Accubond load, but I have got rid of a few 700's that wern't quite that good & a couple not good at all. I have seen some Savages lately that are very accurate, but the last Sav. I had was a 22-250 with the Varmit tube & I tried glass bedding & all tricks, but it was not a shooter. If I had concluded from one rifle as some do that Savages or Rems aren't accurate I would have displayed ignorance & that's about it. The Rems are nice & are my preference and are a good choice if you don't mind spending a little more. I want to hand these down to my kids, but they may wind up with a Sav. or2 as well. I am thinking about building a Sav. switch barrel set-up, maybe a 6mm RemAI, 280AI & 9.3mm. I like both brands & arguing which is better depends on what you want to achieve really, it's easier to make the Rem look good although Sav. aren't as ugly as they used to be, or if you want a switch barrel get the Sav. but on the accuracy side if both are built well sometimes it boils down to which one has a slightly better tube, which is not 100% predictable.
