.270 Winchester or Savage?

[A.K.A.]

Which is the better gun considering all variables.

 

[Model70Man]

Depends on what features YOU like on your rifle. We all have our personal favorites, but that doesn't mean that one is better that another.

I love the 3 position safety, Claw Extractor, trigger, and feel of a Model 70. This doesn't mean it's a better gun, just features I like and want on my rifle.

In the end, it's all about knowing your rifle and having the skill and confidence to take your shot. Many rifles are MOA rifles, but there aren't very many MOA shooters.

I like the trigger on the Savage.

 

[East TN Hunter]

I have owned both.

Savage will most likely shoot tighter groups and have a better trigger. Winchester will cost more and hold a better re-sell value.

I spend more time looking at my rifle than shooting it. I just can't get used to the barrel "collar" or whatever you call the thing where the barrel fits the receiver on the savage. The safety on the Savage also turns me off.

Sure the quality of the Savage is great, and it has a great reputation for accuracy, but I doubt I will ever buy one.

Marlin XL7... a dime 3x at 100yrds! I still can not get over that!!! a dime is pretty small at 100yrds!

 

[Gray Ghost]

I love Savaage. My 110 is a tack driver.

I'D GET AN FNH MADE MODEL 70, I HANDLED ONE AND THOSE IN MY OPINION HAVE BREATHED NEW LIFE INTO THE WINCHESTER NAME, THEY'RE GONNA ERASE THE PRE '64 STIGMA ASSOCIATED W/WINCHESTERS. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL RIFLES AND BASIC GRADES ARE UNDER $600!

Ditto!!! I have the stainless/synthetic stock and it's a great gun!

 

[rescue2087]

I use a Winchester model 70 270, it shoots great, and I love it, I also like the 3 position safety.

savage

 

[Deerhunter]

I only shoot two brands of bolt gun. Remington 700's and anything Savage. Had others but keep coming back. And they make a Savage without the barrell collar if that turns you off.

I have 2 Winchesters, and want more. I dont have any desire for a Savage other than the old lever action 99s and a Savage Smokeless.

remington 700 300 ultra mag. will shoot anything and you want have to track it. shot mine yesterday at 1000yds across a canyon in wyoming 3 shots three hits. the guy i was hunting with shot his 270 and never hit the target. also shot a 9pt yesterday at 200 yards he dropped in his tracks. all in all 9 shots with this gun in 2 seasons and nine deer down with no tracking. i have owned a savage 270 and will not own another.

I have had 3 savages all 3 amazing guns that were extremely accurate... I recently got an a-bolt and love it, but it shoots no tighter groups than my savage and was 3x the price... Go Savage you will not be disappointed

 

[tbam]

I have a Savage 308....love it

That comparison is like saying a bmw or a nissan. The savage is a low end well performing gun. It has a rough, crude throw away push feed action. It will work and be accurate, but it is not a well crafted tool which will stand the test of time.the win 70 is crafted on the timeless design of the 98 mauser action. Its silky smooth controlled round feed action is proven and cannot jam because the boltface fully embraces the case head. The walnut on the 70 will be much better as will the checkering and the overall design of the stock. The bluing will be much better on the 70. So will the resale. The 70 is the action in which all bolt guns will be measured against. The savages are just accurate. Ultimately either gun will kill a deer, but for me I enjoy knowing I am carrying a classic gun.

Very well said! And could generally also be used when comparing Remington 700 to the Savage.

i love my winchester.

I use a Winchester model 70 270, it shoots great, and I love it, I also like the 3 position safety.

Well I have some of all these rifles and they will all shoot better than most guys can shoot. I like the Winchester safty, like Model 70 man and I am glad that my Ruger Model 77 in 7MM Magnum has one on it. The Remington rifles are good and so are the Savages . Its the shooter that makes the difference .
