help me pick a rifle

If you can find a Remington 700 for the same price as a Savage then you won't be disappointed. I'd still take the Savage over anything else on the market for general "plinking". The new triggers are just that good. The older , pre AccuTrigger rifles will get the job done but are not in the same category as the newer rifles, IMO.

As for Browning, I though it was pretty obvious that I was referring to their newer rifles, not a hundred year old maching gun. Browning rifles will put bullets down range as well as anything else, but you're going to pay a premium for the name.

I've never seen a brand-new Rem 700 go for anywhere near the price of a Savage 10/110. The Remingtons around here are $700+

$560 for a SPS Tac in .308

Hmm, not bad. Still way more than a Savage, though.

Please show me a heavy barreled savage below 550?

The sps tactical is a nice rifle with a good reputation and huge aftermarket/gunsmith support.
