[QUOTE="Westernhuntr, post: 1819355, member: 112648"] No you're wrong I think it's very cool to see manufacturers teaming up to build these rifles and I really was considering one for a bit. That is untill I started thinking back on all the disappointments I've had with savage in the past.. My first was a model 10 22-250 that couldn't shoot sub moa with a ton of load development. My second was a lightweight hunter 7-08 that was supposed to weigh like 5.5 lbs but was 6.4 lbs, couldn't group under 1.5" and had the sloppiest bolt I've ever seen. Plus the receiver was drilled off center so I had to use a special base to get my windage zeroed. My third savage (yes I'm apparently a slow learner) was a weather warrior 6.5x284. Seemed good at first untill I went to remove the stock so I could adjust the trigger, turns out the front action screw was totally cross threaded! I couldn't get the bolt out so I called Savage, they told me I'd have to pay shipping both ways plus labor to fix it because there was no way to prove I didn't cross thread it myself! I ended up spending close to $100 for a Smith to drill it out and re thread the freaking action. Anyways maybe I'm just really really unlucky but please foregive my reluctance to pick up savage number 4.. [/QUOTE]
