One thing I would like to add.. to deerbearandhoG and Chaps post. I am not going to argue the excellent craftsmanship in Savage rifles. To try and do so would be futile. But I will add.. just as there are traditional shooters not willing to move or accept if you will,to the inline side of the fence.. there are some inline shooters that will not move to the smokeless side of the fence. Not to mention some states will not move to that smokeless side of the fence as well. Whether I agree with State's attitudes or not. Which I do not. Wisconsin finally got smart and allowed Savages.
Now granted, a Savage can shoot conventional black powder and subs as well as smokeless. BUT by doing so, what is gained? Also, can a Savage owner explain this vent liner to me? What is it, what does it do, and how often do you have to change it?
The thing on the LHS is the tool to remove the breech plug, the thing in the center is the breech plug, the thing on the RHS is the Vent Liner, which screws into the breech plug. You shoot it 100 time, but in my experience about 50 and the hole gets bigger and you loose accuacy. When BP reaches .035 time to throw it away. It comes .032. Chap
