New Savage Classic
 

anybody know where a feller can get that new fancy savage? Looking for a 300WSM.

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Looks like a decent rifle would have to see how thatt NEW detachable magazine works on it. I would think its too early to expect those to be produced

RE: New Savage Classic
 

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me I read this correctly..........you mean Bigcountry is going to look into buying a gun that Mossy suggested?????? The world will end very soon people!!!!!! If you buy it, you might actually own a rifle that will shoot with mine!!!!!!:D:D:D

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Mossy, Mossy, I have always told you I like you savage. Well, after you got a new stock and had a decent blue job.

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Bingo and how much did that cost ole Mossy?:D

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Well over 800 dollars for a muzzlebreak, trigger job, new boyd stock, great looking bluing, and lapped his scope rings.

On second thought, I could go ahead and get a Sako if I save my lunch money.

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Somehow I thought the original intent of Savage rifles was low cost value...

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Oldelk I have went down this road a few times with Savage. I had a 10FP 308. Shot pretty good, but hated the cheapness. So I always did the numbers in my head about getting a good McMillian stock, and any other changes I wanted. And I always came back to the conclusion that I could get something else.

Mossy's gun does shoot quite well, I admit. And he's happy. I guess thats the only thing that matters.

RE: New Savage Classic
 

I am in the mood to buy a 300WSM today. Thinking either Browning Stainless synthetic, or as a high end option, a Sako75 hunter.

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Most anything you modify is not going to hold its value with maybe a few exceptions. If he is happy that is fine as well.

RE: New Savage Classic
 

OEH, you need to find me a good deal on a Sako 75 300WSM. Say 750 would be cool

RE: New Savage Classic
 

At 749 dollars I don't think so. Have you looked at a Kimber 8400 yet ?..I mean it is heavier by a few ounces then that Browning Stainless...is sure prettier to look at and should hold its value better down the road. Get one in French Walnut and send me a Pic :D

The blow up guns were all 300 wsm's weren't they? The finnlights if I recall . I think Cott's firearms has the best prices on them and they have some on Gunbroker. I am not interested in that cartridge at the time. I am into 300 H&H and 375 H&H i am building a serious collection for my son to inherit.:D

RE: New Savage Classic
 

The blow up thing don't bother me much. I don't like the finlights very much.

About the kimber thing, I just went and looked at one and not sure if I got one I would want to take it on a elk hunt. I mean its georgous. Too much for deer. Maybe a nice caribou hunt. But banging around for elk or moose, I don't thing so. too pretty.

RE: New Savage Classic
 

I don't think i'd own a gun that i wouldn't hunt with. I mean i certainly wouldn't throw my drilling in the back of a pu unprotected, but i've drug it all over the bush on all kinds of hunts, and it's certainly not all beat up. It's flown one heck of a lot of miles to and from hunts in the back of a bush plane.

I'd rather have one really high quality gun the way i want it, than 40 common ones in a safe. In fact, i sold one heck of a lot of bolt action rifles after getting this drilling.

My drilling was built in Oct. of 1935, and it's now the way i want it, how could i not hunt with it?? :>))) French walnut stock, swamped rib, claw mounts, choke tubes, side clips, left hand safety, insert bbls., rust blueing and bone color case finish, and much much more.

hey why dont you let me speak about my gun big boy......first off, the gun cost me $390, I then put a $200 stock on it, a $90 brake, and a $100 blue job.........so I fall just short of $800 and it shoots ~.50" groups......did nothing to the action or barrel!!! I would put my Savage (looks and accuracy) up against any $1000-1200 gun on the market. Plus I love the way my smith shaped the stock to fit my hands......(he had to sand on it like 4 times, he hated me for it):D



yeah right, the day you give up lunch is the day I buy a Dodge truck:D:D

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Hey I missed lunch today you little @#%@#^. But I did 1/2 lb bacon, and 4 eggs, 3 biscuits this morning.

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Feed rails don't count?????:D

RE: New Savage Classic
 

What kind of bottom metal does that Savage have Mossy? How does it shoot at 300 yards?

Why would you have to have the feed rails messed with?

RE: New Savage Classic
 

Well Mossy, are you going to answer or should I?

RE: New Savage Classic
 

You know what BC I keep hearing about how great they are ..I may end up buying one and really testing it and then posting pictures on the internet comparing it to my other guns...

RE: New Savage Classic
 

the savage classic is grrrrrrreat!!!! lookin gun looks alot like earlier model remingtons, I will own one soon if i can find one in 300 winnie.:):)
