The one thing about savage that really makes no sense!

There is nothing wrong with a notched pillar.

Did the Team Savage rifles have a notched rear pillar? If they did, it is difficult for me, considering the results of the world championships, to understand how that was a handicap shooting against some very expensive rifles that did not have a notched rear pillar. Where am I wrong here?

LOL your run on sentence lost me. :)

Heck my junky old 110 with a rear half pillar is every bit as competitive as much more expensive custom action guns.

I think this next picture is proof enough to state that.

That picture was from the 2010 IBS 600 nationals. Not only did I beat out a few dozen of the high dollar custom guns, (Bats, Pandas, ETC) but I also beat out the top shooters in the world. (At least in that match.) My gun built out of junk, shoots just as competitively as Sam Hall's, Glen Sterling's, and Richard Schatz's guns. I guess one could argue that it could shoot better with a full pillar in the back, but I happy with it, and my thought is if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Most cool! Great shooting. Wanna sell it? ;D

Depending on my job situation I may have to. Right now it is too early to tell.

[ndhunter]

correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Richard win 2010 nationals? So if he won that would mean his gun or skill is better than yours wouldn't it?

[ndhunter]

congrats on the match win but........Richard Schatz did win 2010 nationals

to 82boy all I can say is Oh No! Not another one! Very sorry to hear it's even possible, it gets OLD very fast! When I pray for me, I'll try to remember you guys and gals on here also.

Well, Yes Richard did win the overall, but that single match I beat him out for score. The point I was making is the gun I built is just as competitive as any other.

Did you shoot in the match?
