I' ve read a whole lot of posts about savage rifles and far and away positive. I' ll attest to their accuracy and for a varmint rifle, I' d agree...their a fine gun.

However my personal experience has been for horrible triggers, poor feeding, poor extractors, safeties not working and a long list of mechanical failures.

As a varmint gun, I don' t care if the safety don' t work....I don' t care if it' s feeding is faulty.....I' m feeding single shot and I' m sitting at a bench and I don' t load unless there is a target. I can fix almost any trigger. I want brute accuracy and Savages deliver that....however as a hunting gun, I wouldn' t give you a dime for a semi load of them.
