Looked at some rifles tonight

[Matteo]

which of the two are used in building more bench rest rifles...........I really don't think you want me to answer that.................just sayin'....

My point was that Remington is good but don't discredit Savage. Dollar for dollar they hold their own. Like I said in my original statement, I like them both.

Since you are "just sayin'", please share your factual reference data source for numbers of bench rest rifles made by brand name. I would actually like you to answer that, I think those numbers would be interesting to see.

My bench rest Savage does pretty good.

Id find a new old stock stevens 200 in your flavor of caliber, then get a rifle basix trigger to swap it out with. Its a savage 110 without an accutrigger and can be rebarreled quite easily later on. I liked my 22-250 but sold it once i got my dad's 243 r700. I want another one for sure

For what your doing i would buy the axis. The deer won't know the difference. Especially if your not looking to do upgrades or work on the gun. Axis is a fine truck gun.

If your into little projects buy the r700, bed the action and open up the barrel channel to free float the barrel. I adjusted my adl trigger with an allen wrench and it breaks at 3 lbs according to the trigger scale.

Only thing id do to axis is the trigger spring upgrade
