Honestly, I don't see how folks like you buy a $325 Savage in the first place. Only a fool would believe a decent centerfire rifle could be had at such a price without cost-cutting measures in production; they key is in HOW the costs are cut, and Savage does a very smart, innovative job of it, still ending up with a wonderful-shooting gun. Maybe, if you wanted an adjustable trigger, stock suitable for bipod, or muzzle brake or whatever, you should have bought one with those features to start with. You will NOT find it for $325.
