[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 547419, member: 10291"] I own or have owned just about every rifle mentioned here over the last 45 years including a few Savages that I currently shoot. All of them are consistent, accurate shooters. I also own other brands that shoot as well, or better. I agree that the design, style, and finish, is not what I would classify as best of breed. But that is based upon opinion, personal appeal, intended use, and what I personally expect a rifle to be. I have never owned a reliable and accurate rifle that I didn't like. On the other hand I have never owned a rifle that has surpassed the overall appeal of my pre-64 Model 70. The first time I saw a Remington 700, I reacted the same way many react to the Savage in terms of design, finish etc. I thought the 700 was cheap looking and the design was crap, as were the newer Model 70's. Of course this was all based upon personal experience and opinion. [/QUOTE]
