spiaailli,
Agreed, Any manufacture can turn out a tomato stake now and then. I would also agree that the old tupperware stocks that Savage and Stevens used were not very good.However, niether are/were the plastic stocks on the Remmy 700sps ( not talking tactical or PS etc ..) . But, they hit the price point. I do have to give some credit to Savage for at least addressing the issue with the Accu-stock . I have not been able to shoot one but it is surely an improvment over old tupperware stocks. I have been looking around at the Savage model 16/116 in either .243 or 25-06 just to try one out. These models include both the accu-trigger and accu-stock and I would expect them to be shooters at a reasonable price point ( around $560 ).
I have not had the opportunity to shoot an Edge/Axis so I have zero experiance with these models.
As far as resale, The upper end Savages ( model 10's , 12's, etc ) do very well. The Stevens are often bought just for a donor action with the intent of building a semi custom.
This is a great site, two people can actually discuss the merits of rifle builders without the fanboy label whoring that is so common on other sites.
BTW: If you're ever in NE TN and want to shoot a Savage I've got a few.
