RE: how good are savage rifles?
I like wood, but the weather warriors are ok. I've never liked the Savage composite stocks. They are the crudest comp stocks I've seen. The clearly visible mold line looks like garbage. The wood and laminate stocks are much better. The actions are good, and the barrels are very good. Accuracy is not a problem with Savage rifles. The Accu-Trigger is excellent. Definately the best factory trigger available, and the new detachable magazines Savage is using are very well done. Savage rifles are very good rifles for the money. In terms of value for the money, they are hard to beat.
I have 2 Savage rifles. A Model 114GCNS and a 10ML-IIBVSS. I like them both very much and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Savage rifle.
