Savages account for 90 percent of my bolt guns. They are my number one choice for big game, varmint and target shooting out to 2000 yards.

That being said, I would not consider for one second taking a Savage bolt gun after dangerous game, two legged or four.
Two legged, it is going to be one of my semi autos that simply have never jammed - Colt AR15 M4 style, a Springfield / Imbel FAL and an Armscorp M14 built on GI parts.

African type dangerous game, it is going to be a proven gun of some type like a pre 64 winchester type action or a mauser, or a double gun.
