Apparently the "non-functional" memo wasn't delivered to my Savages...my Model 93 in 17 HMR (with accu-trigger) is a very accurate and fun rifle to shoot and never a problem with it. My Model 10 FLCP-K in .308 is a tack driving machine and a pleasure to shoot as well....

It's for his son's graduation - That rifle is something special and would stay special for a life-time with proper care! Every hunt he had with that rifle would remind him of his dad's special gift.
