So....Why DID you buy a Savage?

Bravo Roland,it is what I have been trying to say from the beginning to actually put in an answer to the OP. Savages are a great thing and the more shooters the more possible NRA members or whomever they join to support the shooting sports.I am along with my brothers in new york state in the fight for our lives.Just to be able to own the rifle we choose.

I bought a Savage Target Action, right bolt left port. Why?

1) Left port. Novel, think it might work well for me.
2) Inexpensive.
3) Easy to change barrels (no gunsmith).
4) Easy to go from small to large bolt face with floating bolt head (no gunsmith).
5) Nice trigger, and replacements are not that much. But I doubt I will replace.
6) Aftermarket bolt handles are cheap and can install myself (no gunsmith).
7) Lots of aftermarket knowledge and support.

It has some faults, but overall, for little more than $500, I'm happy.
