I should have been a bit more clear. I was thinking of either a matt stainless, or better still, a stainless with some sort of dark, dull coating. Part of my concern was corrosion inside the barrel.FWiedner wrote:+1jeepnik wrote:... They put a darned laminated stock on it. Come on people, if it's meant for hard use, put a synthetic stock on it.
Thank you.
I agree on the blue but don't know that I agree on the stainless. A good matte all-weather finish would be nice.
I would avoid their plastic stocks though. They are pretty much useless.SFRanger7GP wrote:.....This Savage is a great little rifle at about half the price of the Ruger M77/Mini14 fusion.

As a 'lefty' in love with Marlin 1894's in .44, I couldn't agree more.AJMD429 wrote: unless I really need to shoot out past 200 yards I'd just as soon use a 10-shot levergun with a tubular magazine as a 20-shot bolt-action. If I really thought I needed more shots than the levergun offered, I'd want a semiauto anyway.
Yep. Count me in there tooIf I were making a bolt-action "General Purpose Rifle" I would probably use the .308 or similar cartridge, would use a detachable box magazine, but make sure the lowest capacity ones were flush with the stock, and for sights, would probably want a flip-up front sight and NECG aperture-type rear one to mount on the 'Ruger Ring' base, with QD scope rings available in case I wanted to use optics.
