RE: Savage 110
It is snubbed by those that want their firearms to be "the best" or "the prettiest" or "the most revered" oe even "the most pricey"...all the while the Savage shoots as well or better than most for way less money, and offers the very inexpensive option of trading barrels with little effort. And now with the AccuTrigger it's greatest criticism has been silenced by those that have used it.
It's a great gun and you're right...most folks don't appreciate the simplicity and beauty of it's design.
I've got one and it is a hard working tool that is oblivious to hard knocks and rough treatment... though I always try to be nice to it!
