I would suspect they are considered about comparable. If in fact Remington compensate for the machining differences in the two materials I'd logically expect comparable results. That however has NO bearing on my question regarding the accuracy differences between Savage Axis' comprised of the two metals. The potential of the two metals is well documented, real world results with regards to the Axis are not. Your opinion is that there will be no difference in guns made from the two different materials and that very well may be the case. I specifically asked for empirical data regarding the two different guns. Hopefully the results will show equally superior accuracy in either metal. How do your Axis rifles perform?
