Ok, reading all the bad comment, I thought that it’s probably that they are as much bad rifle that there is bad shooter. My experience with Remington is flawless my first dear rifle was a 700 BDL DM 30.06 It always shot great within 1-2 moa at 200, after that it was opening a little yeah but it was really a – 200 yard gun anyway that I needed. My next Remington was a 700 vls 243 This one was a charm with hornady vmax moly 53gr. I was shooting better that most guys with reaload…-1 moa to 300 , and now I’m using a 700 action with a Gallard barrel in 260 rem… Shot 75 12 V with it this summer. Im not saying there are no lemons… there are.. but before I call a gun (all manufacturer including) a lemon I check everything including the shooter itself. Just my 2 cent.. Oh and it might be because there are more 700 out there than any other. And for the one who thinks savage rules, right they rule now because they where going bankrupt 15-20 years ago and had to do something drastic to put the company back on track. Again just my 2 cent.

Five shots through the same hole from a factory rifle really that alone exposes the hype. Remingtion over hypes things like sling studs are a ammenity that should be a given that like car manufactories saying this car come with door handles WOW.

I have both Savages and Remingtons (as well as a bunch of custom stuff) and both have produced some great out of the box rifles. Try the 5r series from Remington and some of the Hogue stocked SPS rifles. A bunch of the new Savages will simply shoot great. I am sure both produce crappy stuff here and there, but at least with certain lines from both, there is some good stuff coming out. Ammo? No clue, as I dont shoot factory stuff except for rimfire, shotgun, and such.

I am definitely a Remington guy. I hate Savages. I believe the Remington is a superior design. But the quality is just terrible. My last 700 was a 3 moa rifle, for $950! After some stock work its will shoot 1- 1.5 moa with the best handload found to date. I know an ugly, clunky, $300 Savage would out shoot it. By the way Remington, what exactly is your “accuracy standard these days”?

I didn’t know Remington got all new tooling. When Savage retooled, they made better rifles and they are still better and that’s just the way it is. Maybe Remington R&D should take a look at Marlin and figure out what the hell went wrong. The new Remlin guns are a disgrace to modern manufacturing protocol. Your ammo sucks, too, by the way. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

I just did a search to see if there was anything about Remington re-tooling. I don’t see it. Sorry, you’re not building great guns on your old tired machines. It’s just not happening. Those are pretty videos though. Good for you.
