Do any of you read the original thread, or do you spout of for sake of spouting off? The guy already mentioned Kimber and Weatherby. Those rifles are $1000+ I do agree w/ retrieverman. This thread has turned into a turd push! I hardly doubt that any of you would rather take a Savage over one of the customs mentioned in this thread. If you would, quite frankly you’re an idiot. That’s right, someone who is not educated enough to make a rational decision. Don’t confuse the issue because of ignorance.

A lot of us have spouses, kids, and other obligations, so don’t take me wrong, but I am 40 something and hunt every year and bought my first rifle this year. I saved for over 10 years and spent over $2200 (I had budgeted $5000). I don’t think that Bull543 wants to buy 14 rifles instead of one. Maybe Bull543 is asking a genuine question and would like a bit of input in selecting a quality rifle. Maybe he has the resources to purchase what ever he wants. It sounds like he is not familiar w/ rifles because of where he came from and is looking for some quality input. If someone one asks you for input on a sports car, I hope you don’t say Saturn cause you can buy 5 of them for the price of a Corvette!
