Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Rem 700LH BDL (30-06) for sure. It's my first Lefty and it was my first new rifle. Kids were little, money was tight, scrimped and saved for it. I've had it over 20 years now, it doesn't owe me a thing.

Re: Favorite non savage rifle
My favorite (and only) non-Savage centerfire rifle is a Remmy 700 in .308 Win. Favorite rimfire rifle is a CZ 452.
Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Tough call:
527 CZ Hornet (most accurate out of the box rifle I owned till I got my first FV in .223)
Marlin 45-70 SS Guide Gun (unported)- Ya gotta love it.
M1-Garand - a man HAS to own a Garand.
Model 700 Mountain Rifle in 260 Rem in blue steel and walnut with the "skinny barrel"
Ruger #1 in 22-250 with bipod and a LONG 5-15 x 50 bushnell scope.
I still spend most time now with my LRPV in 6BR and my 12 FV set up as a switch barrel (.223 and 260 Rem 8 twist) rc
Re: Favorite non savage rifle
It's a toss up for me. For fun my Tikka T3 tactical in.223 with a 8 twist 20 inch barrel. For survival the M1 Garand is the only tool I'll need, so it get the nod if the poo hits the fan.

It's got to be my M4 then my remis. :)
Re: Favorite non savage rifle
I have to say that the Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan in 375 Ruger is actually my favorite rife out of any. It's the one gun that I can always count on to get the job done. It's a serious caliber that will do anything I could possibly want. It's also the only non Savage centerfire rifle that I own ;D.
This is about the only photo I have of it.

The short 20" barrel makes it handy to carry around. The VX3 2.5-8x scope is mounted in Warne QR rings and the express sigts are zeroed at 100 yard in case anything goes wrong. It shoots MOA out to 300 yards, which is as far as I plan to shoot this gun (not that it can't go farther, I just have better guns for that sort of thing). And it's taken a beating without ever missing a beat. The same day that this picture was taken, I slid 200 feet down a rock scree while following the mountain goat that left that tuft of white fur. I scratched up the stock and dented the scope pretty good, but it never changed zero.

Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Darn I thought that I had a non Savage favorite but darned if this one wasn't made by Savage.
Lee Enfield N04 Mk1* S. This was my first center fire rifle given to me by my dad when I turned 16. As you can see my youngest likes it. ;D

Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Boy, is that SMLE minty! :)
Re: Favorite non savage rifle
It sure is. I don't believe it was even issued.
Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Used to be a big Ruger fan untill I discovered Savage and still have a couple but the go to walk about varminter/truck gun is a CZ 527 American. Between the clip,trigger and accuracy it very hard to beat!

Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Its gotta be one of my evil black rifles. Probably the LR .308 with a Chip McCormick trigger and a Vortex 6-24x50 mil dot. The M&P 15 carbine with a Leupold mark AR 1-4 is a lot of fun too.

Re: Favorite non savage rifle
My Ruger 10/22 Tacticool.
Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Just got two new(ish) ones. I picked up a Mauser 66SP in December and a Tikka 595 Master Sporter in 7mm-08 a couple of weeks ago. The IDF treated the Mauser pretty well but it still has some minor wear. It shoots amazingly though. LOVES 175 smk's. Haven't had the Tikka out yet but it came with a EGW 20MOA mount and a custom cheekpiece- higher than stock. Scoped and boresighted, just haven't had the time to get it out there. This one is immaculate.
Back to building Savages... I have to keep telling myself not to stray away- but the new Tikka T3 Sporter just came out... Savages, Savages, Savages...

10/22 Ruger. Bedded DNZ mount, Power Custom adjustable hammer and sear,and BSA Sweet 22 puts meat in the freezer.
BTW, The sweet 22 turrets are not calibrated for any bullet I have found. However it is a solid scope with bright and clear optics.
Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Would have to be my Marlin 39A (after the kinks have been sorted out) pictured with the mark IIf

Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Taco, what scope have you got on that AR-10?
Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Just a cheap Barasaka, but it's in a Larue mount. I need glass for it in a bad way!!!
Re: Favorite non savage rifle
Outside of my Savages my favorite is my Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70.
