I am a pushover for Savage rifles

I was in a local gun shop today getting a few odds and ends and saw a Savage 110 with a scope sitting in the used gun rack. A closer look revealed that is was a .270 Winchester in a hardwood stock (I tolerate synthetic stocks, but do not really like them) with a 3-9X scope and appeared to be in new condition. This shop has a policy that when a used firearm has been in the rack for 30 days or more, it is subject to a discount. The date the firearm arrived is noted on the hangtag and this one came in around mid-March.

After some discussion, we agreed on a lower price and I put the rifle on lay-away. I have a various rifles and some shoot better than others. Savage rifles will stay right with the guns that come out of the green box (yes, I have rifles that came in green boxes). Take care...

Savage rifles are known for the accuracy. Let us know how well it shoots when you bring it home. Is the stock solid or laminated wood?

slimjim,
The stock is stained hardwood and looks very nice. Take care...

Me too, They have started making so many changes it is getting hard to keep up most of them are fore the best, but if you try to buy a detach mag or something you really have to make sure you are getting the right one i.e. center feed, side release, I have to say I like the center feed and the all steel mag that came with the american deluxe or classic also the european variation were real nice but although it was not center feed the function was flawless.

Thanks, fnuser. I wasn't aware of this design difference.
