Most guys really prefer a certain brand of rifle. Remington is our military rifle provider especially in the 30 cal range. That has resulted in a laundry list of aftermarket parts etc... I personally am a Savage guy because they were the only company that made a lefty bolt gun 30+ years ago (one that I could afford anyway). Now, I stay with Savage because I can pretty much do all of my own work. Barrels are really easy to change out because of the "barrel nut". And there is a lot more aftermarket parts becoming available because a lot of guys are building their own semi-custom rifles off of Savage actions now.

I have the trophy hunter in 30-06 for my deer and Elk gun and it shoots 1 moa out to 200 yards (farthest I have shot it or will shoot it at elk or deer).

And I just bought another trophy hunter in 270 Win, but for the action only, and will be building it into a 260 rem as my long range target/varmint/predator gun.

Just my .02
