I know where you're comeing from with the advirtising but I have first hand expirence with my own rifles.
It would be great if you sir could get your hands on a sampling of Savage rifles off the shelf and test them along side the more honorable names and give us a report on just how bad the Savage brand let us down.
I think though that other makers might do well to copy the Savage design as a way to control cost instead of resorting to plastic receivers and such. Instead many makers are simply pricingsome of us out of their market, which will help to serve the anti-gun movement agenda.
I have enjoyed this thread. And a lot of what some people have posted here is the truth.
I can see two flaws in this post however. 1. Plastic Receivers?? 2. Savage has taken the largest price increase. Definitely percentage wise. HE** a Savage with a HS Precision stock costs more than a Remington with a HS Precision stock. The Remington SPS is comparably priced with 110's if you do a little shopping. And 15 years ago the Remington was 2 to 3 times as much. Savage rifles are not as cheap as people think. IMO Mossberg now has that title. Tom.
