Re: Buying actions?
I too agree that Savages shoot with the best of them, but I don't own any. If a Remington is correctly built, you are not going to out shoot it with a Savage or anything else. What you can do is shoot on par with the Remington for a little less, which is perfectly fine. For some people the fact that Savage started as an affordable rifle, which some define as cheap is enough not to buy it. Again, I'm not one that thinks this way, but it's the way it is. I chose the Remington because I was Basiclly a builder before getting serious about shooting, so that's what I know. As for custom actions such as Stiller, they don't cost a billion dollars. They are worth what you pay for them. Just some guys that can't do the work, or want to pay for the work, will talk down about them.
This is relative in many things in life, like automobiles, boats, clothes, etc, etc.
So, in short, if you want better accuracy, but aren't a machinist that can do the work, or don't feel like paying someone else to do it for you, buy a Savage. If money and time is no big deal, and you want more options, and status, then go Remington, Winchester, or any of the customs out there.
BTW, these are opinions that we as free Americans have a right to. So this, or anything said before me shouldn't bother anyone.
