I thought I'd make something of this, but I just decided to let it go. I haven't fired it but it has an excellent bore, 22" barrel with a straight taper from heavy (maximum diameter at the barrel nut), to 1/2" at the muzzle. It's a well balanced rifle with this taper. Slim in the grip and forearm so it feels very controllable. Blind staggered magazine, shadowline cheekpiece, soft Decelerator pad, Millett bases and engraved style rings, really nice light trigger pull with zero creep, Savage 110 serial # D491xxx, custom wood with black tip, wraparound checkering on the forearm, grip, and grip cap. This is some very good quality work on the checkering. Only downside is one repaired crack on bottom by the action screw, hard to see but there. A blemish here and there on the wood and a little flaking of black off the trigger guard. Were these aluminum trigger guards? Looks like it. Sell for $625 shipped or trade for something interesting. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z371/Weather223/DSC_0175_zpsbi85oops.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z371/Weather223/DSC_0177_zpsnhaeck92.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z371/Weather223/DSC_0178_zpsojjxinxx.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z371/Weather223/DSC_0179_zpspziwppi9.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z371/Weather223/DSC_0180_zpspytgyiw9.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z371/Weather223/DSC_0181_zpsvuenwtsq.jpg)

Hope I didn't jinx the rifle by calling it "pretty decent".  As you can see it's a darn nice weapon. I like the feel of the wood alot. I looked at three shops in town today for some factory ammo just so I could try it out and finally convinced myself I don't need a 7mm-08. I'm at too-many-guns-not-any-room already. What's a .284 man gunna do with a 7-08 anyway? I wish someone would buy this for their son as a deer rifle.

I hesitate to use the word beautiful in the same sentence with Savage, but that is one very nice looking rifle!
I think not shooting it was probably a good idea.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

That is the best looking Savage that didn't have a lever on it that I have seen.
Bump and good luck.

I'd trade this for a couple of Leupold 2.5-8 VX 3 or 3i scopes. Or something else.

I'd throw in a few dollars to help that deal work for the youngster.
Nice looking Savage!

Dad decided to get something more utilitarian for dragging up and down trees, so somebody needs to trade me out of this.
I need a carry pistol. Leupold scopes.

If somebody doesn't buy this soon it's going to the range. This gun feels great, great balance and just fits. Make me an offer with a brand new Minox 3-9x40 with the BDC reticle. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z371/Weather223/DSC_0175%202_zpsxgdweuyn.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z371/Weather223/DSC_0176%202_zpsbtid75fs.jpg)
