Do tell how buying a pisspoor design at an inflated cost is somehow being smart with one'smoney?

The attributes of the 700 action is world renowned, both in it's basic factory state, and in many copied forms....

Noone else copies a Savage......noone.

Ask any custom smith to build on a Savage, and you'll realize why.....

If you relish towin' your line with a Savage then by all means do so, just don't compare it to a 700 in the same light...because you simplycan't.
