Well, not exactly that simple. It is very much simpler and takes less time to drill and ream 2 holes than to cut 2 slots. In addition there is the cost involved with the cutters used, the wheel cutters used to cut the slots won't last as long as a drill and they are more expensive to replace. We are not talking about a lot here but it adds up in a manufacturing environment, and the Savages are manufactured with an eye toward economy so every penny counts.
