One just has to wonder how slow sales are for Savage and other manufacturers for them to keep offering these rebates on what are supposed to be their most popular and best selling models. The NSSF and NRA keep telling us that based on monthly NICS background check numbers 2017 is going to be another record breaking year for firearm sales, yet every manufacturer is offering rebate after rebate to stimulate sales. One can only conclude that the bulk of these background checks must be from used gun sales.
