[QUOTE="VarmintGuy, post: 242913, member: 10334"] savage vaporizer: You know NOT of what you speak! The triggers on Remington bolt action Rifles are exceptionally well suited for accuracy. I should now I am currently shooting 42 of them! The latest Remington I purchased (November 4th 2,008) is an SPS-V 700 model in caliber 223 Remington - it has an exceptional trigger on it! I know its an exceptional trigger because I have used it at the bench and tested it for uniformity of let off with my Schrader Trigger Gauge in my gunroom! This gauge reads in ounces by the way! It passed my tests with flying colors! And as far as accuracy I have PLENTY more accuracy examples! Heres another one for you and the initial inquiring poster. This NEWEST Remington Model 700 SPS-V was quickly mounted with a Leupold 6.5x20 variable scope - the action screws were torqued to the exact inch/pounds setting I prefer on my Remingtons and I headed for the range with a batch of ammo that had been made for another Rifle I have in 223 Remington caliber. Ahead of a snow squall I was able to get the Rifle on paper, and then sighted in. Then I had time to fire 5 rounds of handloads in this 223 Remington Rifle that measured .372" there at 100 yards! That is the only group this Rifle has shot to date. I will keep you informed. No, savage Rifles DO NOT have the market cornered on accuracy - in anyway shape or form! And the description of the RB/LP savage Rifle my gusnmith friend owns is right UP TO DATE! It was purchased early this spring and came with flaws that neccessitated the barrel be hand lapped with a lead slug and mild abrasive just to get this $900.00+ Rifle to shoot "OK"! You probably are not aware that I shoot alongside savage Rifles from time to time! Again savage Rifles DO NOT hold the market on factory Rifle accuracy! Early this year I bought a Remington XR-100 in caliber 22-250 Remington. This Rifle shot so well right from the git go that I only tried ONE load in it - TOTAL! It has made groups (5 shots at 100 yards) as small as .283"! Its last two groups (5 shots at 100 yards - fired on different days by the way) measured .434" (my loading log notes "poor conditions on this days shooting) and .397" on a different day! This XR-100 has a splendid trigger and is all factory stock except for a slight lessening of the triggers pull weight and the action screws were torqued to MY specifications. I have a number of shooting companions that own Remington Rifles of various models in caliber 204 Ruger by the way - I have as yet to hear one complain about a lack of accuracy or of displeasure with the triggers! I have plenty of more examples of accuracy in "my" Remington Rifles, and I mean SPECIFIC examples NOT ambiguous and factually unsubstantiated innuendo's like you bring forth! Each ambiguous stab at Remington you come up with WILL be met by my first hand and substantiated (recorded!) examples! And believe me - I have LOTS of them! I have been shooting Remington bolt action Rifles for 48 years now and have as yet to find one I consider to be in-accurate! Life is simply to short to shoot ugly, unattractive, clunky, poorly balanced savage Rifles - PERIOD! Why not buy a handsome, well balanced, solid Rifle like one of Remingtons bolt action offerings to begin with? Remingtons shoot quite well and have a much higher resale value should the need arise to sell! And by this I mean the purchaser WILL recoup a much higher percentage of their investment when they buy Remington as opposed to savage! AND, they will recoup that investment MUCH faster selling a used Remington than the notoriously slow reselling savages! You talk about value and accuracy - heres a real world going on RIGHT NOW example - my $500.00 Remington 700 SPS-V in 223 Remington shoots BETTER than my gunsmith friends $900.00+ savage RB/LP in the same caliber! Forget the savages! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy [/QUOTE]
