Both are 308-- Savage 1-10 twist Rem 1-11.25

What advice can you offer in regards to this purchase?

Thanks

rem, you will likely replace the trigger, but the sale of the 1st stock will cover that, proportional resale will be better than the savage, all stainless is nice

savage may still have the edge as an out of the box finished product for the price, if you like the trigger and the stock and want the brake

no DBM on that, better to get a stock that already has it, if that is what you want

own the BA, the best production rifle I've owned so far. Had issues with the stock shortly after, Savage up graded to the Magpul free of charge. Can't help with the current Remington offering's. Haven't seen anything to spark my interest from ole green in years, but the 300 blackout offerings show promise.

I own a 10 BA as well and to date I have not owned or seen a more accurate rifle out of the box.

My vote is for the 10BA.
