Default Savage Rifles?

I am thinking about buying one. Are they a good quality rifle? Where is the safety located at on this rifle? If I get one, it will be in 7mm rem mag.

Not the fanciest rifle by far, however you wont find a better shooting gun for 3 Xs the money. The saftey is located directly behind the bolt and is a simple slide forward deal not unlike what you would find on a mossberg pump shotgun. It is equally accessable for either left hand or right handed shooters.

Frizzellr is the one to ask about these Savages. Those are his babies.All I've ever heard about Savage has been good. The biggest complaint I did hear is their triggers could be better.Savage came out with a new trigger so there must have been some improvements made.For the price you probably won't find a better rifle.

Deer-Slayer I have a Savage 111 30-06 package gun that I bought last year just after christmas. "Cut the first notch " in her this year. If I was buying it now I would go for the Accutrigger. it's SWEEEEEET! Some dont think they are attractive, but I love them. Rugged, great shooting out of the box. I print a 1 1/2 inch pattern at 100 yards. Someone who shoots better could probably get that down significantly. I like the safety. Easy to use. The only other rifle I found in the same price range was a remington 710. Man, what a piece of crap that thing was. took all of 30 seconds handling the thing and I never wanted to see another. I love the Savage. Im keepin my eyes open for another one in a lighter caliber for one of my boys.
