In my experiance Savage rifles with AccuTrigger will shoot with anything dollar for dollar out of the box. I have not only owned many guns I have helped many hunters sight in their guns at the gun club.
The Savage AccuTrgger is hard to beat. I have one in .22LR but want to add larger calibers.
I have to agree with you. The Savage is built to be accurate right out of the box. Remington seems to have to be tweeked and doped. The M-24 is the Remington receiver the rest is the Army, Navy or Marine Corps armorers. Don’t get me wrong Remington is a good gun, But Ruger and Savage are better. BTW think Winchester, not to be forgotten.
