Hi All
I have looked on the Savage website but using their search engine is useless. According to the search engine Savage does not offer a big game/30-06/ in stainless.
I know they do but am looking for suggestions from people in the know.
Requirements.
1) 30-06
2) stainless
3)NOT a plastic stock, don't want the flex or noise of a hollow stock. Not against replacing a plastic stock with an aftermarket wood/laminate if it is not cost prohibitive.
4)Prefer NOT a drop out magazine due to to many complaints of them not staying in place properly and thus not feeding the next round reliably. I like the drop out mag for convenience so if the issue has been addressed I would consider one. No blind mag.
5) Not concerned about an Acutrigger...can't feel the little tang with gloves on anyway and the trigger will be heavier due to the glove issue.
This rifle will be to replace my current Elk gun..IE rough use and very foul weather.
I would say 30-06, stainless and accurate (less than 1 MOA with hand loads) are the main concerns.
Not looking for the cheapest option, but a good gun. If I could assemble n accurate gun for cheap the better.
I am continuing to look but looking for input (pros/cons/thoughts) on people who can help me in my search.
Thank you
Darrell
