Savage needs to work on the stocks.
The stock's are fine, It's that Zip Gun looking action that generates complaint's. It looks like it was built by Home Depot.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

I think the Classic series look good (14 and 114). Now, if they'd only come up with a better way to disguise that barrel nut....., looks like something you'd get in the plumbing section at the hardware store. Sure makes barrel swapping easy though with a minimal amount of tools!
Do any of you Savage guys do your own barrel swaps?

Why you ask, do I think Savage is ugly? Because its a Savage and not a Remington. if remingtons looked like savages then remingtons would be ugly too.....
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I'm sure all the deer I have taken in the past with my Savage .270 thought it was really ugly. Good Lord, now we have a thread about how ugly a certain brand of rifle is?  So I guess you need to hunt a buck that's pretty with a rifle that is too.

So should the next rifle I buy come from Macy's or Neeman Marcus and would Perry Ellis be a good brand?  Even my girlfriend is getting a kick out of this thread.

If talking custom look at some of the ones at http://www.acgg.org/ For the money there are some great looking and shooting rifles available, Dakota now owned by Remington, Cooper, Blaser, Mauser, and Lazeroni to mention a few. TC Icon is another sweet looking and shooting rifle IMO. Some guns are more pleasing to the eye than others but if you believe pretty is as pretty does then there are some pretty rifles that may not be attractive visually but certianly are in performance, my Remington 788 is in that group.

The part of a Savage I have never gotten used to in looks is the rear of the bolt and bolt handle. It almost looks like an after thought to me. Crap we need a handle to operate this thing, lets just screw one on the back. Functional, easy assembly it just doesn't look good to me

Friends don't let friends own ugly guns! People who hunt behind high fences don't hunt with a Savage! The rear of the receiver looks like they converted an in-line muzzleloader. I think they wanted to show up Remington for creating the old 710.

Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

I use my ugly gun to kill ugly critters, so what's the big deal? Sure if I was a bench shooter I might worry about what other people thought about the looks of my gun, but I shoot practically.
