What’s the real deal with Savage?

[Richard Coody]

I have built on savage actions. With a premium barrel and proper stock and bedding they shoot great. The reasons you don't see them often in competition is bolt cycling and the trigger. You can do a lot.to improve these shortcomings but it.will never cycle like a.panda or have a trigger like a jewel

That is the Savage laminated that came on both of mine from the factory. It looks a lot like the Richards Microsoft i used on my Remington based build.

Thats a nice stock.

There's a big difference between a Savage axis and their high end stuff. I started with a PTA in the box and have been real happy with it.

Hey Steve’
I have the improved extraction kit from SSS installed except I haven’t got around to the spring yet. Maybe I did something wrong but it just doesn’t like spent BR cases.

Jim, Remember the extractor slide into the center for removal. it just takes a minute. The ball baring alone made mine function correctly..

Don't forget about the two piece floating bolt. Easy to swap out for a different cartridge head.

Heres some pretty ugly savages.. they been worked on by me but their pretty ugly!!!

I guess I’m the the odd man out. I prefer AR style chassis vs old wooden clunkers. Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder.
