DD, I do love my 114 Classic! I bought it at Bass Pro Shops last year for $629. No other bolt action had all the features that I wanted. Beautiful wood with the black forend tip, nice grain, great checkering, and the brass Savage grip cap. Deep blue instead of matte, the engine turned bolt with the Savage logo, the Acu-Trigger that I dialed down to 2 pounds, and outstanding accuracy.

I love my Savage!
