Nigel,
I talk to a lot of young hunters around the traps that would love to own a big bore rifle but dont have the finances to do it.
The 12 gauge Savage 210 gives them the oppertunity to own a big bore with ammo readily available at a reasonable price.

I am talking about importing at wholesale prices,makes a difference!

You forgot to mention that neither of your bolt action shotguns have front locking lugs.

The SAVAGE 210 does !

So let these young shooters live the dream instead of pissing on their camp fire !
