and if I'm not mistaken, Savage currently holds the 1000 yard title.. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
From a personal perspective-I have a Savage 12FV in .243 that is the MOST ACCURATE gun I have ever owned, or shot. I have shot a lot of Remingtons through the years, but this Savage, and the next 6 I bought immediately after the first one, are so far beyond what I have ever experienced with any Remington. There simply is no comparison.
I'm not anti-Remington.. However, I do really dislike those people that love Remington so much that they get nasty on internet web sites, and attack other people just because we all don't worship Big Green. I'm not saying that about anyone, or any post here.. Just in general. Remington lovers are like liberals--you better love what they love or the war is on. If you don't agree with them that Remington is the best then you are stupid or ignorant.. It's just so elitist in thinking, and the product certainly does not support that position. I am guilty of intentionally leading the Big Greenies into combat. Like I said I can take Remington rifles, or leave them. I've never had a bad one. Never had to send one off for repair. Never had one that did not shoot well. But man saying something negative about a Remington on the internet is like smacking a hornets nest with a baseball bat. And every now & then I love to stir that pot. I guess it shows me that people can still love something blindly, and that they will defend it regardless of the facts..
Yes, as I said I do own Remingtons. They are some of the best looking rifles in my gun safe. The other good news-people are still willing to pay top dollar for used Remingtons, and that gets me closer to a new Savage & good optics. There is an inverse relationship happening in my safe. Every time a Remington leaves, a Savage fills that gap. Soon (hopefully) I'll only have Winchester, Sako, Browning, Savage, Tikka, & Rugers rattling around in there waiting for the call to duty..
