Usually shoot well. Feel and look like cheap junk. Known to have rough bores. I've been around a couple that had feeding problems. At one time they could be bought cheaply enough that they made sense, but the price has increased so much it's easy to look elsewhere. Too many other good rifles out there today at similar prices to the Savage. Plus, with RemAge barrels now available, there's no reason to buy a Savage for the slow switch barrel setup.
This is about the best summary of Savage bolt guns I have ever seen.
