Ruger or Savage?

I agree with Mad Scientist in first asking what you intend to do with it, but based on your other posts, I suspect you intend hunting with it. Based on my knowledge of Ruger American rifles and Savage 110 rifles, I would choose the Savage first off because the 110 is not an entry level rifle like the American is. The 110 stock has an aluminum bedding system which works quite well in my opinion and is superior to the Ruger American stock. The Savage can also be adjusted to fit you, though I have never had a rifle with that set-up. Both rifles are equipped with muzzle brakes which make them insanely loud, even for a 300 win mag. Both have reasonable out of the box triggers, but I prefer the Savage Accutrigger over the Ruger again. If by chance you are considering dangerous game, I would again lean toward the Savage with hinged floorplate in favor of a detachable mag; magazines have known to become unseated at the worst of times. There is a reduction in capacity with the Savage (2 vs 3 in the Ruger), but security is most important here in my opinion. On the down side, the Savage is 1.5 pounds heavier; a drag carrying in the field, but a plus for recoil.

In in case you are wondering, I do own a Savage 110 and a Ruger American. If your options were between the Ruger American and a Savage Axis II, I would likely lean towards the Ruger as being a little (very little) better stock in entry level rifles, but like I said, the Savage 110 is a cut above entry level rifles...and I guess you noticed the price is also higher.

i am going to go slightly off-topic a bit on the magnums..........and tell a story........

Some years back, i knew an accomplished hunter. He owned many guns including one of every "classic" remington 700 that they came out with in the special runs.
His favorite was the 6.5 Swede that he hunted with all the time......His wife took the 257 roberts........

He elected to buy a new rifle/caliber for a special hunt in colorado.........a Weatherby MK V with synthetic stock and 26" barrel....7mm WBY mag......i asked him why since he was so salty with the swede. His response was it was a very limited time frame hunt, Distance unknown, shot angle unknown, oppertunities limited.....and he wanted a round that would literally penetrate to the vitals from any angle. He was a hand loader as well. He did not want to pass up a shot because of angle/presentation as there might not be a 2nd chance that day or any other day.....and the days were few.

i have no idea what the costs were of this out-of-state hunt.....but looking at it that way, i can see HIS justification for a magnum. He had the knowledge and the skills.

I do not.....and still limit my range and my shot angle as to what i am comfortable with.........
