Frankly I think the so called "average shooter" guns, such as made by Savage, to be very interesting and much more relevant to my personal history. While I appreciate the upper end firearms such as highly engraved 99s and their contemporaries, they really do not represent me nor the folks I came from and therefore have only an abstract appeal. But maybe more so than that the "other than 99" Savages provide opportunities to collect and shoot firearms from one of our Country's finest firearms maker that simply don't break the bank. Having said that I appreciate my Super Sporter (now thinking I may also need a .30-30 and .250-3000) and the 19/23/1933 series far more than a "Super Grade" anything else.

Hmmm, having read the above I might need to find a 170 in 35 Remington too...
