Cooper is no better than Remington? Surgeon, GAP, Accuracy International are all on par with Marlin, Winchester, Savage, etc...? Why would people competing at a high level waste their money on anything more expensive than a Stevens?
I would consider all of the names I mentioned to produce "good" guns, but some are better than others. Brand X and Brand Y should always be part of the decision making process when purchasing / building a new rifle.
Maybe I should have specified better...I.e. stock/production vs. semi custom vs. full house custom. Either way, an in stock GAP isn't on the same level as a stock Remington, Savage etc....which is why you don't see a GAP at Wal-Mart etc....and why you can't really compare them. I think the points been made.
