savage-good or not?

[Cal Sibley]

I guess I was lucky in terms of Savage being called the ugly rifle. I have an older model 110 in .243Win. I met a young chap, a Brit who had recently finished gunsmith school and was welcoming all firearms work while he became established. He refinished my Savage stock by recutting all the checkering, installed a rosewood forend tip and grip cap, and finished the stock with some type of European finish. Gawd but it's a sexy looking rascal, and all for $50. It's the best deal I've ever had. If there's a Michael, from England, frequenting this board who worked in Toronto in the late 70s please contact me. I need you! Best wishes.
