Not for collecting. If it proves accurate enough, the gun will go from safe queen to campfire tramp come next hunting season. Picked it up from an acquaintance, because the price was right, but would be excited if it'll hold a reasonable group at a hundred yards. When I bought it, I was going on the notion that Savage had a good rep for well made lever guns. Didn't realize that when they retooled, their quality took a hit. Guess I'll find out soon how big a hit. What have you found shooting pre and postmil models (either iron sights or scoped)?
