I don't think I've ever seen even a Savage rifle that was that ugly.

Just got back from Idaho on a week long hunt for muleys, no luck , snow kept them bedded down and hardly a thing was movin except for the elk, and me with no elk tag :cry: getting one next year. Anyway I'm shooting a winchester model 70 supershadow in 7mm WSM, sightron up top,with barnes triple shock mrx pills in 140 grain with 58 grn of reloader 19. My back up gun or my close range(oh out to 200yrds) I'll use my 60's(can't remmber exactly what year) remington model 742 Woodsmaster in 30-06 with open sights with 180 core-lockt pills. Found it last year at the gun show new in the box for $550 :shock: If I miss with the first all I gots to do is pull the trigger again. :lol:

They can shoot alright but they are just flat out butt ugly. I was in the Sportsman's Wharehouse the other day, they had a few upgraded Savage rifles in their rack, if they didn't look like a pig with earrings I don't know what does.
Pretty is as pretty does...

Thanks Bob, The only thing that picture is missing is a rainbow sticker and an Obama Button.

My theory is that if you buy a stainless/synthetic Savage rifle, you'll know it's accurate and you won't care if it gets scraped or scratched because it's already ugly. Not having to worry about either lets you concentrate on hunting. Now I just have to convince myself to take the Savage out instead of the old Mauser. :)

Okay here it is - Steyer SSG 69 in .308 with double set triggers, Zeiss 3 - 12 X 56 MM illuminated reticles and Federal Premium in 165 gr. Nosler.

The ultimate rifle for ANYTHING!

My second deer rifle is a Winchester pre-'64 Model 70 in .270. This is the rifle that Jack O'Connor killed every animal on the North America continent with!

Well, we got 'er done. Went out yesterday along the Utah-Wyoming border with the high power gun and got an antelope. The 6.5-250 put it down in one shot at 225 yards with the Accubond. The CG Universal trigger helped. So did keeping the gun locked up the night before.
