Some of the reasons for halting production of these very fine rifles are themselves, obsolete. Even with CNC machining I would tend to think costs would still be prohibitive but investment castings are the order of the day. They are VERY accurate and would require very little machining and finishing. Consider what Pedersoli has done with investment castings and it is clear that Savage could bring out ONE model receiver in high strength material for a bunch of calibers. When it comes to the rotary mag they could use a die casting of aluminum/zinc or brass investment casting to cover a few or several calibers.
Come on Savage get with it. It's time for a new model 99.
