Wow you told me off didn't you and resorting to name calling means I wonand probably won't be invited to shoot penned deer over a feeder in TX
Look at all the money you saved by mouthing off and showing your ass here and not going to your therapist.

I have enjoyed this websters book of gun facts, except for some unproven speculation about the skill level of Savage workers.
Mr. Corbin the CEO of Savage has said that the workers at his company have been there for many years on average,( VERY LOW TURNOVER )which tends to add to the skill level of the work force.
The barstock receiver and the barrel nut were both implemented into the savage rifles to speed manufacture and lower assembly cost without compramising strength or accuracy, a feature some other makers are happy to copy in todays market.
I recently read a review in a major magazine on the Stevens 200 and the arthor stated that the barrel was the smoothest he had ever tested and required absolutely no brushing to clean. I have 5 in my safe and none of them are rough,none have been lapped, maybe I just got lucky.
Of all the rifles I own three of the savages will shoot 1/2 moa or better with their pet load, one is a .22 and it doesn't do nearly as well, more like 1 1/2" at 50 yds. The other is a model 25 classic that I haven't worked up a load for at this time so I can't make any claims about it's ability.
My most dissapointing rifle by far is a Remington mod.7 in 243, it's good for 1 1/2" with hand loads and about 3" with factory ammo. I was hoping for much better when I bought it.
My 1895 Marlin will do 1moa with good hand loads,so It's disappointing to me that anyone would sell a boltaction that is unaccurate. Glenn

I know where you're comeing from with the advirtising but I have first hand expirence with my own rifles.
It would be great if you sir could get your hands on a sampling of Savage rifles off the shelf and test them along side the more honorable names and give us a report on just how bad the Savage brand let us down.
I think though that other makers might do well to copy the Savage design as a way to control cost instead of resorting to plastic receivers and such. Instead many makers are simply pricingsome of us out of their market, which will help to serve the anti-gun movement agenda.
