I'm not sure what Savage was trying for with that one.
Uhhhh... a 75th Anniversary Model?
I have one. Haven't shot it, but thinking about it. Comments I've read from guys that shoot them have been favorable.
Straight stock, lever safety, tapered octagonal barrel, factory D&T, quality workmanship... all good.
Some bemoan the .308 caliber. That was a popular caliber in 1970, why not?
Besides which of 4 Savage calibers should they have chosen? Don't answer.
Currently Savage is offering a Model 110 125th anniversary in Savage calibers, advertising the heck out of it but I don't think they are exactly flying off the shelves.
I don't think the "haters" really hate them. They just have an opinion (strong) on the caliber.
