My wife bought me one for Xmass last year
I have always been Rem. all the way But I will tell you this
I would put my Savage up against any other Make in the same cal. out of the box w/factory ammo!!!
Savage is with out a doubt the most underated Man. on the market!

All yea the 2 Deer I shot with it this year didn' t care how fancy it looked either!
