Savage 10 Precision Carbine vs. Remington 700P LTR

[txgolfer45]

These appear to be the closest to what I'm loooking for. I want a HB 308 that I can use on the range for precision shooting and in the field for hunting deer and hogs. I've handled the Rem 700 SPS Tactical and it weighs more than the 700P LTR.

Both have fluted 20 inch barrels and are free floated with good stocks. No need to immediately change out the stocks like on the SPS Tactical or the 10FP. The Remington weighs about 1/2 lb more than the Savage. The 700P LTR is about $150 more than the 10 PC. Anyone own one or both of these? Recommendations?

If you can get the Savage at a good price do it! Not 1 thing wrong with a Savage and I wouldn't be surprised if it outshot the Remmy.

I'd say go for the Savage also. I love mine. I don't have any experience with the Remington, but the Savage is a dream, and the Accutrigger is amazing.

Another vote for the Savage.

I picked up the Savage 10PC yesterday. It looks great. Still waiting on my scope. I ordered a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP scope to go on it. Rings and base are in transit.

Me and another fellow TGTer is in the process of setting up a range at my place. It's nothing fancy but it will have a 1000 yards. We are wanting to set up a "out of the box showdown". He shoots a Savage 10FP I think. You should get in on it.

Once I get it all set up and dialed in, that would be fun. My scope is on backorder right now.

I've had the Savage 10FP in .308 and the Rem 700VLS in .223. I like the pillar bedding in the Savage and I understand the Acutrigger is great! Mine didn't have the Acutrigger but it was very accurate.

The Remington will come with an 8 pound trigger pull. Strange, true and totally sucky. The stock has a pressure lump beneath the barrel which the barrel rests on. It is not fully floated. Some guys grind that lump out and find the rifle won't shoot worth a flip without it.

Favorite rifle? Remington
Best all around value right out of the box? Savage.
