Anyone have one? Do you like it?
I think its interesting for sure, but I've read mixed reviews about it- Randy Wakeman was especially critical of it.

see where Cabalas is discounting them from 1300 to 850
Savage has dropped the MSRP prices on the Renegauge in the last year or so. The biggest problem I see with them is the weight as they're on the hefty side. Another case of Savage's marketing people insisting on pointless aesthetic features (fluted barrel) that look pretty but negatively affect the overall performance and usability of the firearm.
My other concern with Savage and new products these days is how long is it going to be a thing? Time and time again we see Savage bring new designs to the market only to see them disappear 2-3 years later. Why would I or anyone else want to buy something that could very well be obsolete in short order and that I'd likely have a heck of a time getting replacement parts for in the future due to it's short production life. The MSR's came and went, numerous imported shotguns have come and gone (the Chinese 320 pump shotguns, the Turkish 512 Gold Wings O/U's, Russian 412 SxS's, the Italian Milano O/U's, etc.). This is precisely why I don't bother to review any of their new imported models when they come out - like the new Stevens 334 rifles. Instead I wait a couple years to see if they're going to stick around or not.
Very spot on J. Baker :) I remember being confused a while ago when I was looking for the MSR on savage's website, and it had just disappeared. As for the renegauge, I do hope that it sticks around, but I'd like to see a non-fluted barrel and wood furniture personally.
my un professional opinion, If i'm paying for it, its manufacture is going to start with a "B"
Baikal? :p :bolt:Quote:
