[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 994650, member: 229"] +1 to what [B]spd67[/B] said - What do you want to do with whichever rifle you acquire? That Remington is hard to pass up seeing as it has an older action and aftermarket barrel (the trigger is a much-appreciated upgrade as well), but I'd tell whoever you're bartering with to keep the BSA scope (I'd personally tell them to keep the stock - I'm not a fan). Who made the barrel [B](this is an important question to ask)[/B]? If I understand correctly, 1/10 twist sort of pigeon-holes you into needing that extra length (from what I've read - I've got no experience with a 1/10 .223 barrel) to gain the extra rotation needed for larger bullets. That's sort of a turn-off to me, but it makes for a super-heavy prone or bench shooter that won't have any issues with recoil. If you intend to buy the rifle, and keep it as-is (and occasionally hunt with it) I'd get the Savage for sure, but that copy of the Leupold would go in the trash. [/QUOTE]
