[QUOTE="WRG, post: 312453, member: 13638"] I've never had much luck as a gambling man however I still for some un-known reason play the odds and with that being said I look at the ML industry like this. There are only a handfull of manufacturers out there that specialize in ML's. For Savage it has been less than a decade dabbling with the smokepole and they are certainitly not a company that I would consider to be specialist in the ML industry. That's not to say they haven't made leaps and bounds in the last 20 years with their center fire rifles and in fact I don't think you can buy a better made rifle for the money than a Savage. But when it comes to buying anything I tend to lean towards one with the best reputation. I have owned several Thomson Center ML over 30 years with one CVA & Remington thrown in for good measure. T/C has always been on par with the times and become "I think" the best in the business. I'm not saying buy a T/C and you never have any problems in fact I own two Prohunters and I had to do trigger jobs to both along with putting in a oversize hinge pin and filing down the ears on the forearms. I also had to put in a heavier hammer spring as well. Total cost for everything was about $65.00. I did everything myself. I do now have a very accurate and reliable ML. Moral of the story is no matter who's ML you buy they all have their weeknesses that we all need to over come. I hope everything works out for you and your son. It would be a shame if this episode leaves a bad taste in his mouth and decides to never again get involved with ML's. I have had to deal with Savage in the past and they responded the way all good companies do. It's just that time is of the essance for your son and his patients are running thin. Hope everything works out in time for him and good luck if it does. WRG [/QUOTE]
