As The proud owner of a savage I would never go back to shooting dirtburners again ,but to each his own. MLing isnt a hobby to me, I use my gun to wack game in slug zones and in ML sesason, its just a tool to me,so I dont "draw a line". why wouldnt someone want to carry the best, most effiecient gun they could get, when trying to fill a tag? I have absolutly no guilt for owning a more accurate, more powerful, less recoiling, cheaper shooting and much more dependable gun ,that I dont even have to clean! Besides it still takes just as long to load and its not like Im gonna take much longer shots than I could w/ a conv.ML or slug gun, so I dont see how anyone can say, its as dangerous as a centerfire which is a BS myth anyway. My savage isnt much differnet than a newer knight or TC, its just cleaner, doesnt shoot a white cloud out the barrel, and I KNOW its gonna go off, whats wrong w/ that ?
