So, where does that leave me... well, they all seem to do what I am looking for, so I guess feel and features comes into play. All have free floating barrels, custom stocks, aluminum bedding, the 5r is 24" vs the 26 of the rest.
It is just hard to be for sure, for every 100 people that love remingtons 100 don't, for every 100 that love savage, 100 don't. You have guys saying their $200 prostaff scope rivals their Nightforce... at some point a person just has to go for it and learn his lesson, be it good or bad.
So, after talking to many, reports/people saying I've got as much a chance of the savage shooting .5MOA as I do the 5R, I liked the Savage, that stock you seem to dislike is a big reason I like it.
But, maybe I wake up in 8 hours and decide that the 5R is just a safer bet... Of course the savage has easily replaced barrels should I want to play with other calibers or just go custom 308... this could go on forever
Hey guy don't get so defensive. We are all just giving you advice. Listen to alot of these guys they love shooting and have real world experience. If you dont want to hear an opinion don't ask. I'm not trying to jump on ya, just listen to what people have to say. As far as savage thats one that I shoot. I want to eventually get a remington as well....If you have any savage questions send me a PM.
