Modern day savages are cut on a CNC machine and as far as someone's statement about the ability to customize is foolish. The savage is one of the absolute easiest weapon to accurize and accessorize. They are where a lot of home gunsmiths cut their teeth. The 700 and Remington have moved to the back burner as of late because of savage and their accutrigger and their out of the box accuracy. Remington had gotten bad as of late with consistency. Some guns are great some not so much. To me find a better value than the savage 110 with an accutrigger and I'll buy you supper. I'm not talking about personal opinion. Because if we are talking opinion then it doesn't matter. Want the best value? Then buy savage.
I also talked about customizing. I believe Savage may make the most accurate production rifles going on average. With that, no other action is close to the 700 in number of custom rigs being produced. Aftermarket everything is readily available every where for them. The only advantage Savage has in this area is the barrel nut which makes swapping barrels something the average guy can do.
