[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2124681, member: 879"] I know from reputation that many guys shoot Savage rifles and are happy with them. But I never could get past their appearance. I suppose I might feel differently if I were to shoot one that was great but there are plenty of other rifles that shoot great also and do it without all the ugly pipe-fitting look of the Savage rifles. Life is too short to hunt with a rifle that looks like a do-it-yourself plumbing solution to something under the house. I think I agree with you on reading too much and not shooting enough too. I had a Tikka T3 Hunter 30-06 that I really tried to like. Killed a couple deer with it; but I didn't enjoy shooting it. It was a decent looking rifle aesthetically too. But I sold it last year and bought a Sauer 100 30-06 and now I could not be happier with the way it looks, shoulders, feels and works. Shoots much better too. There are a lot of rifles that will fill your needs and freezer out to 400 yards. Just find one you love instead of one you might like. And that endeavor need not be very expensive either. [/QUOTE]
