Your favorite production rifle

Had a early 70's 700 Remington 700 that I liked everything but the bedding.
Currently have a Savage 10 tactical and 12 varmint that impress me. Quite accurate (under 1/2 " 5 shot groups) but the 10 could use a smoother bolt. It just doesn't have that glass smooth feeling I like.
 
No doubt—if your not in to tinkering around —Blaser R8…they shoot —nothing to mess with—go out and kill something…any of Blaser products are top notch— R93, K95…etc…

This might not count since Fierce may be considered a quasi-production rifle, but my favorite factory rifle is my Fierce Fury.

Followed by my Win M70 classics and my 270 W Ruger M77 MKII (which was the very first rifle I ever purchased). Than my Browning A bolt and CZ 527s. My Win classics are in 300 & 270 WSM, were put together nicely in New Haven and they handle and shot well. The Ruger has taken many whitetails. The 7mm WSM Browning is smooth as silk to cycle and it shoots great. The CZs are great examples of old world workmanship. I forgot to mention my Remingtons and Savages…thinking about it more I am having trouble deciding which is my favorite. 🙂
 
Savage 110C manufactured 1967, I bought it new, ok stop laughing. Older than dirt. I rebarreled with clearance SS ER Shaw at Uncle Larry's. Still shoots extremely well and love taking it out once in a while. I can remember pretty much every ding in stock. BTW props to Savage CS that took care of a kid that had nothing. I had saved up for quite a while to buy it. First weekend hunting in Adirondacks, I stepped in a covered over artesian well(?) hole. If I wasn't young prob break leg! Fell on rifle on granite, rifle stock cracked badly. I brought it bsck to gun shop and luck was Savage rep coming in that week. Few weeks later I get call from shop rifle was in. I asked how much? Owner said come on in we will talk. Scraped as much money together as I could. Owner pulled rifle onto counter and WOW! Really nice walnut stock now on rifle. Asked how much? He gave me letter from Savage that said they hoped this stock will be used to hunt for many years. Enjoy and go hunting! No charge!

Second fav is Sendero 300WM that was tack driver right out of box 22 years ago and still is!

I freaking love the fact that you write down your deer that you shot on your hunting blind. My mom and dad used to put marks on the door frame how tall their two sons would get. when I was 13 I got my first rifle . I worked two summers for, I never thought I'd have that much money again so I told the gun shop I wanted one caliber that could hunt everything from deer to moose. He had a browning BAR 7 mm Remington mag and that's what I still have today. Fast forward 40 years before our hunting blind rotted out we used to write down what deer we shot . Memories!
 
Agree with others on Tikka…bought one a few years ago when Euro optic bought out the remaining stock of .270s in wood before new model came out. Was $525 and free shipping and out of state no sales tax. Pretty good bargain with where prices have gone. A few of my buddies and me all have that same gun and pretty all of them are great shooters. It's been a lucky gun for me in the field to boot.
