If you were able to get your hands on stainless LH 700's, would you still have bought the Savage?
Maybe and maybe not. If I could get a SS 700 donor for the same price as a SS Savage donor I may just go the 700 route.
There are however things about the Savage design which I prefer over the 700 design.
Gas handling is one, with the 110 being unparalleled in that regard. I also prefer the three position tang mounted safety on the 110 to all others. The easy and cheap boltface changes on the 110 are also to be commended.
Last but not least is the affinity I feel towards Nick Brewer and Savage for thinking about us lefties since the inception of the design.
