RE: Savage All Weather vs. Remington sps stainless
I bought my son a Savage 16 7mm-08. Here are my observations.
Good:
The rifle is very accurate
The Accutrigger is awesome
Bad:
Even though the rifle is stainless, itsalready showing signs of surface rust on the trigger guard, magazine housing and magazine.[:@]This is totally unacceptable.
I've owned numerous Ruger rifles over years and not a single one has ANY signs of rust on them. There is definitely a difference in the quality of the stainless used by Ruger and Savage.
Summary:
I still personally prefer stainless/synthetic Ruger M-77 MK/IIsand Remignton 700 BDL LSSs.

Try that Savage trigger with gloves on...then buy the Remmy.
What cartridge are you looking at?

I would buy a Remington but not the SPS stainless, go for one of the leftover LSS. Laminated Stainless Steel. Bud's Gun Shop has one leftover at a great price, get it before I talk myself into buying it.

The price is darn good considering what all you're getting in a sturdy, beautiful, stainless rifle. But yeah, if you're not that much into it and just looking for a good rifle then the SPS blued version is about $100 cheaper or you can get the Savage package deal which is a good deal also.

RE: Savage All Weather vs. Remington sps stainless
Usually, there isVERY little price difference between a Ruger M-77 stn/syn and a Savage 16 Weather Warrior?????
Also, don't forgetRuger includesscope rings with all their rifles! This alone will save youeven more!When you look at the whole picture I bet you can buy the Ruger for the same price as the Savage....or less!
