I too think the AT is overrated .I currently own 1 & I have owned 3 others. However, the blade doesnt bother me much, in fact, I hardly notice it anymore. My beef is ,although very crisp w/ no overtravel, I cant seem to get one under 3.5-4#. which is not that great. Id think your better off buying a stevens and spending the savings on a aftermarket trigger and stock. I also think savage accuracy is overated too, the several that I have owned, did no better than any remington Ive owned, and remys are way prettier and better designed. The most accurate rifle Ive ever owned ,was a 700 adl. im not saying savage is crap, but IMO they look and feel a little cheap and cheezy. If you really want a savage go w/ theyre "classic"line or a laminate stock SS model.
