First of all, Cascadedad is not stating anything that is a lie.He did exactly what he said he did. I think some people are well served to hide THEIR realitybehind the mask of the internet.

I don't own a Savage but I'm sure it's a very nicely made rifle. It is middle of the road pricewise when compared to the White Ultra Mag at 299 (if you can find a Sportsman's Warehouse that still has any left, they sold very quickly at that price) and the Encore ProHunter at around 800. It would be hard to say which of those three rifles would make a nice Missouri deer the deadest.
