Everytime I see example's of these rifle's I'm surprised Savage didn't hire someone who could engrave animal's. Or time the buttplate screws.

I like the "sighting in" photos. You could change the caption to read "and back in the day we used to keep our own personal firing squad on retainer."

Just a quick update. I contacted Savage Arms today regarding my request for Historical record search on my rifle. Was told that they have my letter, sent almost 7 weeks ago but have not got around to doing the search yet. Oh by the way a search letter now costs $65.
