Over the past 50 years I have owned many Savage rifles and shotguns, most were good guns that worked and we’re inexpensive. Now most of there rifles and shotguns have black plastic stocks and matte finished metal and may work but just don’t give you a feeling of pride of ownership.
I still own a couple M 99’s and some rimfire rifles but the originals that are so cool are still available if you keep a watch for what you want and know what the prices are for a good used guns and and are by far the better choice for someone that likes the old blue and walnut guns. I am not a gun snob but just don’t have any use for the new breed of guns.
