They base their opinion on a perception of "UGLY".
Those of us who own and shoot Savage/Stevens rifles regularly seem
to believe that " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
GOOD LUCK and GOOD SHOOTING!!!
P.S. If you will notice very few Savage/Stevens shooters will "DAMN"
another brand.
Hahaha no worries my friend, I think the troll that I was originally arguing with moved on to greener pastures (I hope so anyway!).
Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, and more than welcome to hunt with whatever they want, but it is saddening to see some of the chest pounding that goes on in various gun forums, as if guns and hunting are reserved solely for those who make a certain amount of money. I have owned and used just about every major brand of rifle and I honestly did not notice a difference in performance on the bench or in the field, they all worked just fine and brought home the bacon at the end of the day, whether it be a Savage or a Browning. I'll continue to shoot Savages, Rugers, Remingtons, etc. the closed minded guys can stick to whatever whiz banger they perceive to be superior.
