Almost every gun show I go to has used Savage rifles for sale. Picked up an FXP3 in .243 with the intent to rebarrel to 6.5. Shot the donor and that was the end of that.

Much as I would like to like the American, my experience with an early model was less than pleasing. Dad bought it and gave it to me. Probably shot 7 different types of factory ammo through it and none grouped acceptably. Sold the rifle after Dad passed. I'll stick with the cheap used Savage (non-Axis) rifles.


Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE!

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
