I have never owned a Wolf or a Savage. But if I had to choose one or the other, it would be the Wolf. Now before you climb on a high horse.. remember, I have 14 inline rifles. Add one more, and it will not be a special rifle, just one I shoot in succession. Now a Savage would be a great rifle, but I am not a fan of smokeless powders, and if all you are going to shoot out of the Savage is standard black/sub powders... the wolf could do the same thing for a cheaper cost.

Since the Savage is gone.. there is no harm checking out other rifles. The Wolf, Impact, Vortex, Optima, Omega, Triumph, just to name a few. If you're not so high tech motivated.. there are older styles that can be obtained for a good price and will shoot as well as any of them. For instance, these lucky dogs latching on to a MK85.. I hope they know what quality of rifle they got for such a cheap price.

I have a Black Diamond XR. To find a better shooting rifle would be hard. But people avoid that rifle because it is probably one of the most filthy to shoot rifles there is. BUt if a little extra cleaning don't bother you, I could have had one of them for only $120.00. I waited one day to long and it disappeared.

So look around. Unless you have your heart set on a certain model.
