My opinion the Remington and Savage unless significantly modified are much less capable than a Mauser, Springfield or Mosin. I mean if all you are going to get caught up in is sniping and running then maybe but otherwise the stock SA Remington is a pain to quickly load the stock magazine, the older staggered magazine Savages much better than the centerfeeds. There is usually more to it than sniping and running. Beyond that saying the average Remington is significantly more accurate than anything else and enough to make a difference is ludicrous.
You can single-load a Remington by dropping one in the open action and closing the bolt. Any rifle that doesn't REQUIRE magazine-feeding would be my preference.
You can chuck a single rnd into crf Mausers and Springfields just as easy as a remmy, done it many times.
I know. but I was responding to the critique of the Remington's stock magazine. The magazine only comes into play until it is empty, then I want to be able to drop one at a time in.
