I'm a big fan of the old 24's, and I reluctantly requested a 42 in for review last year knowing I would probably hate it based on it's appearance and materials. As hard as it was for me to admit, I actually liked it for the most part. The only real issues I had with it were 1) the worthless factory sights that are a joke, and 2) the extremely heavy trigger pull. If Savage were to address those two things (or even just put some decent usable sights on it) there would probably be one behind the seat of my truck.
