SavageShooters Forum Shutting Down

[TC260]

All true. A helluva lot more “ Poors “ ( Snipers Hide derogatory term for anyone not well heeled enough to have at the minimum one custom, component comprised, multi thousand dollar , can shoot two counties over , rig ) than the uber competitive, condescending ,eccentric cyber bullies encountered too frequently on some sites.

The gear-obsessed 30 something outdoor yuppies have invaded everything not just shooting. They grew up on the internet and are creatures of social media.

I have only owned Savages since right before Covid-19 hit. So while I know of the site I was never on the site.

It does make me sad to see any gun related site fade away but it is the nature of things.

I'm another who was active on the Savage forum, but, lurk in here a lot. I'm not surprised that forum is closing. More surprised at how many years it was kept running. A forum is really difficult to keep up and running, not even mentioning cost.

If not for a Walmart special Axis (varmint barrel .223) I would probably not be shooting rifles much. I bought it as a cheap plinker. It was accurate enough to hook me into the game a bit. I added a 12 Varmint to the stable and have fun with it. Not a great shot and still on a budget but I get by. Still shoot just for fun. I am glad that Fuj' and a few others were on there to help us neophytes get better.

You have about 6 weeks to search the site to glean any information You can before they close down. Maybe answer some questions You may have about Your Savages. I recommend We all take advantage of this time.

Charlie, always enjoyed and benefited from your comments relative to Savage rifles. Hope you’ll stay active through this or another forum. Always knew I could get good info from you and others ( some of whom were banned ! ) on Savage Shooters.

Thanks. I try to be nice

I know I learned a lot more than what I gave. A great resource.

Shame to lose a great site. I do think the 110 family can be picked up here. But, I'll sure miss the TC and pistol section.

Archive it. https://archive.org/ https://web.archive.org/ It’ll certainly take a lot of time, but saving the really long/really informative threads may be beneficial. Nothing ever completely disappears.

Mr Baker did say that he would have the information available on his Facebook account.

Trouble with trying to download parts (which I have started doing) is that some of the best 'gems' are hidden in various threads, sometimes as off topic 'drifts'. Tough to find all those.

Maybe if enough of us pitched in we could have it moved here if we knew the cost and had a fund raiser. A lot of you seemed really concerned. I would help and I just don't like things of value thrown away.

Even if it were pared down to only the FAQ and Savage/Stevens Firearms Boards, that would save a great deal of old and obscure info. Maybe as a "Read Only".

I bet you can ask any questions about a Savage on this forum and get a correct informative answer.
