RE: TARGET FIFLE AND VARMIT RIFLE

with the savage vs remington. go savage with the new accu- trigger. the way the savages shoot right out of the box why pay anymore than needed.

well thanks for all the info you guys shared. I am not to worried about the pelts just planning on helping the farmers out. I have a .22 mag that i would use on close shots. If i go with the .243 i was thinking about the remington 700 vls or maybe the savage model 12bvss. Whats your take on those two guns? Thanks again for the input.

I would also agree probably to go for the Savage. But there is nothing wrong with the Remington, either. Both would serve you well so long as you put a good scope on it. Be prepared to plunk down some more $$$ to get a good scope.

Gundigest - how much do you want for the VLS .223? I have a project coming up where I need the action and stock - but not the barrel. Thx. Roscoe

RE: TARGET FIFLE AND VARMIT RIFLE

If you are not saving pelts as you said, I would look no farther than the .243

personally I have a Remington, but would not mind a new Savage w/ an accu-trigger.
