I personally have had 5 Savages and never had an accuracy problem with any of them or, reliability issue, I can definently see that some people just hate Savage, and will base this on very exaggerated occurences. All of you who claim to have had "accuracy" problems, give that same gun to someone else, and I'll bet it will shoot differently, but basing your opinions on an entire brand of firearms, when you have only seenmaybe a few incidents, is ridiculous, you don't see me hating on Remington, because I have seen 6 model 710's crap out in my tenure at a local range, I could say that Remington was a terrible company, but I know better, anyway, thats just my .02 cents.
