I never found savage rifles all too appealing, though I've heard good things, like nice quality for the price....shoots well, etc....

I just think they look pretty plain, simple, etc....

And my view on a rifle isn't "good value for the price" I want something that looks nice/great, and shoots great too. If that means it's not a great value? then so be it, I'd rather pay a fair/ok price for something awesome, then to save a buck and get a deal of a rifle.

So really, its what kind of rifle are you looking for? just a rifle to shoot/functions? then sure, check them out.

If you want more than just a rifle that shoots/looks ok, there are many others out there to consider.
