I have a Rem 700 BDL .280 made in the early 90's, and then a Rem 700 ADL/SPS .300 WM I bought last year. The .280 is a lot smoother than the newer ADL (yes, I know ADB vs. BDL), and I have had feeding problems with the ADL/SPS. I also have older Savage 116 .30-06, I have dealt with customer service of both, and Remington was easier to work with, but for a new rifle today, I would opt for a Savage over the Remington. Overall would be a Tikka though.
