RE: Which Gun
Hey CodyBear,
I agree with what you say about Savage. My Md. 111 chambered for .30-06 shoots very well. But I can think of at least one good reason to keep the other rifles as well.
Once you sell them for cash....cash has a way of disappearing and you are then left with neither! So unless you are just plain " strapped for cash" why not keep the other rifles as well. Have the continued enjoyment of owning them, the option of using " something different" once in a while, and a spare in the event something goes wrong with the Savage.
Savage represents a good value for the money and tend to shoot very well inspite of not being what I' d call really good looking. But I' d hate to get rid of everything else just because!!!!! (And on a rifle for use against dangerous game I' d prefer an action with controlled round feed. And no...I have not had " extensive" experience on dangerous game. But there are many that have...and I respect their opinions...especially when issues of reliability or Murphy' s Law...(ex military...SNAFU). So I try to tilt the scales in my favor the best I can.) Which I guess is another way of saying a " second reason" for at least one other rifle....which has controlled round feed.
