Born in Louisiana, married a Girl from Indiana 43 years ago, started working up here and stayed. I own a Savage in 375h&h, Savage in 22mag, and a Savage Axis in 243. Have owned other Savages. I can't say Savage is the only rifle I'd own.... but it would be my first and main choice. While I am new to this Forum...I am definiately not new to SAVAGE!!!
