I started a thread earlier (Savage Trashing) that mostly pertained to general perceptions and opinions of Savage actions vs Remington 700. I am looking now to use a timed and trued action for a custom build, which may change the pros and cons of these two actions in some regards. I know the Savage can be timed and trued for about $125 and a good trigger installed for another $195. The Remington now has simpler methods to time and true, with a ready to run bolt for $125, but still requires more machining elsewhere. But, I understand the trigger is easier to set up. No contest on barrel install, Savage wins. I can see why Stiller Precision says why customize a Remington when you can buy one of their actions ready to run.

But, sticking with Remington and Savage, both timed and trued, how do these two fare against one another for feel, accuracy, and reliability? I know the Remington will be more costly to set up.
