RE: savage
the gun market is 10 times more appealing with the savage line out there. Spectacular guns designed to be workhorses. Haven't met a remington that can't outshoot a savage without costing over 1000 dollars. My stevens 200 can shoot .4 AVERAGE groups with cheap 45gr WWB JHP ammo!!! I put a nikon monarch on this sic little tacdriver and coated the stock in camo masking tape - something that stiffened it up immensly. The monarch is the perfect addition. I couldn't be happier! The stock trigger can be adjusted quickly and to a great hunting level. I don't see what the big fuss about them is.
I'll never buy anything but a savage. great BARGAIN for unbelievable accuracy. these people really care about their guns.
