I never set out to become a savage lover. It all started with an old single shot 410 model 940A. My dad was a winchester man and I would have been too had I not grew up while winchester was changing. (I still love the old ones) I come from humble beginnings being taught the value of a dollar, so I guess thats why I have a safe full of savages. Theyre not pretty and flashy but theyre the straightest shooters out of the box and made for a guy like me. I wish politicians were like savage rifles, plain, straight shooting and to the point!
