Its pretty known around here with the accuracy minded. The Once a Year hunters are still all to often just looking for the cheapest thing, a lot of remington 710s and 770s. It seems around here the one gunshop we have in town (not counting Wal-Mart and other chain retailers) carries a mish-mash of whatever, but not hardly any Savages. Now there is a small shop about 20 miles from my town that I get a lot of my loading supplies and thats about all they stock is Savage and Stevens. There is a Scheels store about and hour north of me and they carry a good selection of Savage most of the time. I know going to the public range you can tell who's a shooter and who's "just a hunter" who only shoots to sight for the hunt. It seems around here that 75% of the "shooters" are using Savages. I will say that I haven't seen many used Savages for sale in a while. The few that I have seen have been traded in for a higher model of Savage.
