[QUOTE="squirrelduster, post: 291339, member: 9736"] My Savage model 16 in 7WSM will drill dimes and I haven't done anything to it other than put a good scope on it. In fact it drills dimes at 200 yards. I have recently changed the trigger but that was for personal preference not how it shot. When you want to do anything to the Savage it is modular so you can buy a part and bolt it on. New bolt handle is under a hundred. Remington you get to pay the smith to cut yours off and thread a new one on. New caliber or your barrel is shot out, buy a barrel and screw it on yourself. For any of the WSM calibers the Remington is a single shot if you want to seat the bullets to touch. I see way to many good points with the Savage and not so many with the Remington. The only benefit of the Remington that I would like to see for the Savage is the availability of Jewell triggers. Bottom line is if you want a cheap out of the box accuracy that will really shoot go with the Savage, if you want to pay someone to build you a rifle go with a Remington or custom action. Personally after having purchased my first Savage and having several customized Remingtons in the safe I won't buy another Remington. Too expensive for what you get. [/QUOTE]
