Hi guys just looking for input on the 114 American classic stainless in 270. I can get one that is supposed to be new never fired for 650 Canadian. I live in ontario that's why it's in Canadian dollars. Not looking to debate on caliber just input on the rifle itself. Thanks guys.
Great Savage model with beautiful walnut stock which I prefer over the factory plastic or AccuStock. Good shooter out of the box. I usually glass bed the action and recoil lug making sure the barrel and tang are free-floated. I also swap out the standard Accutrigger spring with a varmint/target spring to get the pull weight down to 1.5#. But that's not necessary, just my preference.
Great guns, you'll be more than happy with it.
Good one, go for it.
Let me put this in Canadian terms; it's like the best bowl of poutine you've ever had! Not very expensive, but totally satisfying, eh?
Wow that guys is a douche. ^^
How so? I took it as a compliment to your choice of a rifle.Quote:

Perhaps, not being Canadian, there is some other meaning to "poutine" he/we don't understand.
Apologies.
Ah, humor and the Internet...like foxx said, I was just having a bit of fun. No disrespect meant at all.
Having lived and worked in Canada, off and on, since I was a kid in the 70's, I have a great affection for the country. I also happen to like both a good bowl of poutine, and Savage rifles
Sorry for the ill feelings (and thank you foxx).
For the culturally challenged.:peace:

Sorry guys, I took that the wrong way, jbjh I apologize for calling you a douche. But on a positive note my new 114 should be at my house on Friday. I will post pics once it arrives.
And ya, poutine is freaking awesome. :)
All that dish needs is a nice, hoppy, microbrew.......
Eager to see it. American Classics are absolutely beautiful!
I just got a message from my wife that my 114 arrived. Pics up this weekend.
No worries. You were just looking out for fellow members.
Look forward to seeing your new rifle.

You are going to love that rifle. The American Classics are the most underrated rifle out there. My local shop has a 14 stainless in .243 and a 114 stainless in .270. I am going to end up adopting that .270 real soon! I hope my wife isn't listening. :smug:
The American Classic aint called classic for nuttin. If you so choose you can find long action synthetic stocks for $40 online if you are afraid to scratch that nice walnut. Not many hunters get to own a Classic walnut stainless.
270 is a dang nice round too. One of the best big bore calibers as far as recoil, range and stopping power.
I have a blued 270 walnut 110 that is my fav of my three Savages. It isn't the Classic version like yours but it is still nice.
Thanks mach 2. And your right the American classic is a beauty of a rifle and your also right 270 is a very versatile round.
