Foxfire,

I was at the Basspro shot in Gurney Mills two days ago and had a look at quite a few new rifles there. After talking a little to the salesmen there, they openly told me that the Savage rifles shot much better than the much higher priced Remingtons and Winchesters. I had a look at some synthetic Savages and they were nice if a little "different" looking to my old eyes. The bolts worked very smoothly and the rifles looked well put together.

My partner will be buying one for his son in 25-06 shortly and I could put you in touch with him if you like, once they have the rifle in hand.

Best wishes and good hunting!
