Remington vs Savage

Hey whats up everyone, fairly new here so dont mind any dumb comments. In the next 3 months I will have a new 22-250 varminter, but which model I still cant decide on. Ive been looking at a Remington 700 vssf and a Savage 12bvss. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions, I know that Savage has an amazing new trigger system, but a Remington 700 (at least in my book) is a legend among legends, but still 300 more. Out of the box accuracy is my biggest requirement(with factory ammo, 6 more months before reloading)next to probable life of the gun with better than average upkeep. Looks dont matter, obviously, as I am considering a Savage

If I had a choice it would be Savage, only beacuse of there Custom shop. They are easy to work with. IE, if you change your mind on a differant chamber/Cal. send it to them and they will do what ya wish.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Only some have film.
I have the 12bvss in 300wsm.
Really? I would have never guessed[;)]

Depends on the topic and the day I guess[:D]
PS: Bluecollar, back to the topic at hand, you might check out the Choate stock for the Savage if you go that route. The only complaint I've heard (and said) about the Savage is the light and flexible stock that comes with them from the factory.

The Savage is a good shooter and is cheaper so if money is a big deal then I'd take the Savage and wouldn't think twice.
Especially if you're thinking about reloading, I'd consider getting a .220 Swift instead of the 22-250. The Swift can be loaded down easily to lower levels, but can also be hotloaded much hotter (which will shorten barrel life). With factory ammo the difference is 200 fps I think. Anyway, they're both good but thought I'd mention it since some people aren't aware of it.
