Best buy on the market. I have 3 already and if I needed another bolt gun it would be a Savage. Accurate, dependable and affordable. What more could you ask for. Sure they could pretty up the stock a bit but all my rifles are tools, not wall hangers. They get bounced around in trucks, in boats, carried through brush and briars and used hard. I don't want to have to worry about scratching up a handcrafted stock or dinging the checkering.
