I know there are a lot of Savage rifle fans, for good reason. In general, good things don't typically come from acquisitions like this, but we'll have to wait and see.

I mean Smith did such great things with Thompson Center…

I haven’t followed each one but there have been more than a handful of firearms manufacturers mergers in the last 20 years. I thought a little went on with ammo manufacturing too.

There has been the same even with reloading powder, Hodgdon seems to be a biggie.

I had a professor in college that was kinda annoying. He did have a saying that’s kinda true though, ‘the only thing constant is change’. I realize he wasn’t the first.

I’m not really big on Savage, but own a few, old & new, a very storied line.

Let’s hope they don’t change the style of a great rifle to include a “Hillary Hole”.

S&W really shot themselves in the foot with that Saf-T-Hammer bullshit.

Hopefully they won’t meddle in savage too much. While definitely on the lower end, every one I have had shot better than the value pricing would suggest.
I have a box stock MKII that I have shot perfect 40x40 scores in silhouette with. Pretty satisfying for a sub $300 rifle.
