So this being a Savage forum, how many are faithful enough to use a Savage when a problem could end up getting you squished or eaten.
What I am thinking is something along the lines of the old Safari Express model or would you just spend the extra money and buy another brand's factory rifle and move on. At a moment when reaction time counts I would sure like all the functions (safety, etc) of my rifle to be in the same place as the one I have hunted with for 20+ years. Let's hear some real life experiences, and how much time and rounds spent with a rifle before you would trust it.
