Platform of choice for distance in .308

[Graves]

By modding do you mean bolting on a pistol gripped stock to shoot factory ammo or pillar bedding, reloading, crowning, etc? where did i call anyone with an AR or 700 a douche bag? I do get a kick out of "gun nuts" who solely own AR's & 700's though.

Had varmint classic versions of the 700 in .22-250 & 6mm Remington & loaded my own for it, so if you want to talk go ahead. I just find it ironic that people will bash a Savage just because it cost less.

Sorry Graves, proceed to e-ball.

So who's bashing Savage? Don't cry about it bc you see more M700's here now as I'm sure more Savage owners will post. Personally I have 0 trigger time with one so I can't say anything there but of the Remmy's I do have (700p in .300wm and a 700sps tac in .308) I can say they're hard to beat for the money. I did however go the "wannabe GI-Joe" route and ditch the X-Mark Pro's (which are pretty nice for OE triggers) for Jewell's and I still had some milk money left over

ETA: I'm no "e-baller" by any stretch of the imagination, I know all too well how it is to not have the coin to get the things you want so I totally respect that. But to call folks out for going check to check to afford the things they have when you have absolutely no clue as to where their financial standing is = not cool.
