We won't tell anybody!
Agreed. Savage is about the best going for value and accuracy. Well, until you want to spend on a custom rifle. You couldn't give me most any other factory bolt guns.Only real allegiance I have is on Savage bolt guns. Everything else is a mix of high and mid range stuff of different brands.
Some have certain guns I wouldn't buy, and others I'd love to have. I think limiting yourself to a specific brand causes you to miss out on some great guns, except with Savage because they have better bolt guns than anyone else. Better in every way.
They used to be much more affordable. That Springfield logo added about $200 to the cost.I'll add Springfield Armory to my list. The Croats did it right with the XD series. Their other offerings seem to be excellent, if expensive.
