RE: Remington or Savage
Both are capable deer rifles, but I would lean towards the Remington. I believe it's a higher-quality rifle, it handles well, and looks pretty nice. I have a 700 ADL in .30-06 that is my favorite rifle.

RE: Remington or Savage
I have a totally different choice, but since the choice is Remington, or Savage, I'd go with the Savage! The Savage is a very good gun, while IMO, Remington's quality has gone down hill recently!

RE: Remington or Savage
The Savage would be my choice of the two mentioned.The Remington 700's are excellent rifles.From what's been being said about Remington's CS & QC I would be leary buying a new Remington. A older used one might be a different story.The Savage is not the most beautiful rifle but they are very accurate.Looks don't make it shoot any better. If I were looking for a new Rifle I would check into the Ruger M-77's.That would be my first choice. The Winchester Model 70's are nice rifles.If money isn't an issue check out a Browning A-Bolt.With these package deals the scopes aren't the best quality.Buy the rifle seperately ,then buy a quality set of rings, bases and a scope for it.

RE: Remington or Savage
I own a few remingtons and one savage, I wouldn't rule out either one. You also came back with the Vanguard, they are made by Howa, a Howa 1500 would also be a good choice on the less expensive side.

RE: Remington or Savage
I have owned both. I "gave" the remington away and I would not take anything for the savage. Both are "walmart" guns but the savage has alot less plastic than the remington. I have sent a bunch of deer to the big green field in the sky with that old savage!
