Want new rifle Remington vs Savage

[Arrow Slinger88]

I'm looking to buy another rifle in 7mm rem mag. I'm looking at the model 700 CDL SF and the savage 116 FHSS weather warrior. What are y'all's thoughts and opinions.

[Ecoboost]

Both will do anything you ask of them.

[TXAUfinder]

Can not lose with either one.

Love my savages

[dclifton]

I say Remington because I'm biased. And don't care for savages at all. And I like that 700s are very common and any gun shop usually carries parts but it's really just personal preference.

Like said above they'll both do anything u ask

never owned a savage. my buddy just bought one and after shooting it with the accutrigger, I can safely say my next gun will be a savage

Judd I just bought a savage model 10 pred max and it is a sweet shooting gun! I was a die hard remmy fan but I like the savage really well. I next one will probably be a savage again.

Nothing wrong with a savage. I'm a Remington guy myself but savage puts out a good rifle.

Alot of folks say the accutrigger is amazing. It's decent, but shoot a timney and you'll never go back. Shoot a jewell and you'll look at the timney and laugh.

Remingron for beauty and to build on/customize later. For a gun to beat up and leave stock forever savage. I own both brands and that's how I decide for each savage is usually cheaper. Uglier. And shoots just as good or better. I do like the accutrrigger over the new x triggers in remingtons. Old remingron triggers can be smoother than the accutrigger though.

Another vote for the savage.

I have a 7 mag in the Rem CDLSF that is like new that I never use. I seem to pick up one of the other dozens of rifles available when I head out on a hunt. If you decide to go that route, check with me as I may let it go.

I own a weather warroir of sorts (Cabelas special run .308 w/ fluted barrel) and really like the 3 position safety the savage offers.

On the other hand the remmy you are looking at is an amazingly good looking rifle.

Are you after a lifetime ownership gun (remmy) or a beat up I'm gonna hunt with it gun (savage).

I'm not saying either can't do both, but I would feel a twinge of sorrow if I scuffed up the stock on that CDL.

My weather warrior does have some bangs and nicks, but it wasn't winning a beauty contest anyways.

Hard choice, you'll be happy either way.

One thing to consider in the 7mag- savage offers weather warriors with muzzle breaks you can turn on or off- this would reduce the kick that round will offer by a good bit.
I have one on a Savage .308 pistol and yes it makes the gun LOUD, but helps tame the kick.

I've always been a Remington man myself but since the buy out I've been hearing a lot of really bad things about the craftsmanship of their guns. Not what it used to be.

[TxMedic]

I own both...my Savage 10 FCP is the most accurate gun I own, hands down.

Thanks for the input guys
