RE: Whats the Feeling on Savages?
 

I own 2 Savage rifles,one is my 600 plus yard woodchuck gun and the other I just &quot;have&quot;! Accurate guns but the triggers...? I put aftermarket triggers on them both but not my first choice of gun I would buy...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Being someone who is more fond of levers than bolts I don't particularly care for most Savage firearms. My Dad's 99 lever in .308 is an exception though! That is a great rifle with many a tag to it's credit.

I personally feel that Marlin's are a better buy for your buck than a Savage but then again that's apples and oranges.

The only gun,to beat me ,at BR shoots,is a Sako.In the factory class,I'll stick to my Savages .<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

PaJack,

diyj98...At 600 yards...? I just sight my 7mm-08 at 100 yards dead on and go from there adjusting the eleavation of the 24X Leupold and hope the wind isn't blowing too hard that day...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Whats the Feeling on Savages?
 

Thanks for the replies both good and bad guys.I personally like them a lot and perfer over my model 70' s and 700' s.They seem to have the best factory barrel going in their class and just introduced the best trigger out there to this point also.The barrel interchangability is a great feature for guys that want to try more than one caliber without breaking the bank.Of course accuracy and price are the two most thought of points whenever Savage comes up.Just shot in 5 Savages yesterday and except for the 99 all shot under 1" and two shot under 1/2" ,these are all box stock guns with only a trigger adjustment,gotta love them Savages! Cheers
