Yes I agree about the value of " correctly restored " however the amount of high value Savages available is definitely relative to where you live in the world. In the Canadian prairies they are few and far between believe me. Not looking to start a p-----g match it just seems to me that sometimes Savage collectors need to "come down off of the cross, because someone else might need the wood"
Agree, definitely not looking to start anything. But there's plenty of restored guns out there to spend money on if you think they are worth the price. There's no cabal of Savage collectors setting prices, every sale is between seller and buyer. The way to drive up prices is to start paying higher prices.
