I have regretted selling each one of my Savages . I still have some ,,, but I still miss my others . I'll always buy them . As for Ruger ,, I like the integral mount ,, but hate that I have to buy new rings . More so when I switch sites so often . A weaver or cross slot mount is versitale and your rings will fit all of your guns , Ruger rings will only fit a Ruger - and sometimes those aren't even interchangable . If you want accuracy , reliability and versatility - can't beat a savage ,, and the price is always a bargain .
