Wrenchman..there is nothing wrong with those Savage rifles. I like them too. But they have so many I can't keep 'em figured out. The 788's in this area usually sell pretty high considering they cost 59.95 when new. The one I got for my grandaughter cost me 350 but it had a Leupold 3x9 Compact on it. Only reason i got it for 350 was because I bought 4 bullet moulds and 2 die sets at the same time. I did make a profit on them though. Took the scope off and put a Bushnell 3200 elite on it and going to sell the Leupold at the show next week.
The Ruger 77's don't sell as high as the same caliber rifle in say a Remington 700. I can't say I consider them a superior rifle but have a tendency to keep the Rugers and sell the Remingtons...but I like claw extractor rifles. Back to the Savages..They seem to be as accurate as most if not more so than many. The fun part ...is finding out.... ya know!!
