I am currently looking for a trustworthy and dependable deer rifle.
I see the Savagistos are out in force.....probably none of which understand what feeding, ejecting, and extraction is.
I will agree about Savage accuracy.....even my M-99 was quite accurate for a lever gun.....I had two of them (in .308) and neither lived up to anything one would call reliability.....
Same for their bolt rifles....every one I had failed in one of the above requirements.....
Further, it appears folks here can't read well.....I suggested a USED Remington....not a NEW ONE.
I can fairly predict that that new Savage rifle they are saying is so great will be traded off in a couple years once you discover what a real rifle is supposed to do.
