Nice choice. A very good looking gun. I really like the stock on this one.

RE: Finally decided

RE: Finally decided

Savage announced these guns but wasn't making them until now. Savage told me that dealers wouldn't start seeing these until late spring. A gunshop in Ankeny,IA has gotten two in but they were sold as soon as they hit the rack. My LGS should have mine soon is what he said Savage told him the other day. I had a Ruger Alaskan .480 ordered for a year after they announced the gun. I have had mine now for about 6 months and the gunshop in Ankeny I was telling you about still hasn't got any in. Gun manufacturers announce a new product before they have it available, to sum it up.
