Get the Remington....
Most of us around here have many rifles in many different calibers, and have been fooling with them forever!
This is why we bitch so much.....we can! The new Remingtons are nowhere near the rifle the older 700's where, we see declining accuracy and shortcuts in quality and an increasing price, not good.
Now all manufacturers have increased in price over the years, that is a given, but most manufacturers have at least kept the same, or have increased the quality overall of the piece.
If you raise the price, fine, but then offer me a rifle that 10 years ago shot a 1/2" at 100y and today, will struggle to do twice, or three times that much....what happened?
A bottle of Coke used to cost a nickle, now you'll drop a buck and a quarter on one, but it is still the same taste as the nickle stuff was, for the most part! hehehehe
Look, the CDL SF will do you fine, it is just that what your getting for the price, and the chance that it may turn out to be a turd, and the position of big greens customer service..... for some, it just isn't worth it!
The Tikka is a pretty rifle some say, I don't find it arousing, but you might, it will out pace the Remington more than likely and is darn near half the price...and we see far less Tikkas having mechanical problems than do the Remingtons. Savage is even better.
The new Winchesters are fine firearms, and they cost less...so most of the gripes are forthwith!
Like skiking said, he got a good one, many have not, so.....
I just put a CDL in 7mm-08 back for myself, here at the shop, it shot well, but I have the luxury of doing a pre-flight on some of my stuff.
If you like the CDL SF, get it, it's not going to be a total dog if at all, you just don't know for sure these days! You might get one that shoots one hole, bolt works fine, no binding, is accurate, or, you might get one that has to go back for warranty work....??
