savage-good or not?

[Dutchboy]

The Savage rifle is the BEST production factory rifle, at any price, when it comes to barrel quality, trigger quality, chamber head-space dimensions, and gas handling design.

They hit the price point by using birch instead of walnut for their stocks, through savvy design, and by using the barrel nut system to quickly AND accurately headspace the rifle.

For a rifle that will be used, the Savage is hard to beat. JMO, Dutch.
