Local gunshop has one on the rack in nice shape--$695. I ended up buying a mint condition 1953 Smith K22 instead! Several good deals on long guns there.

If you are an honest Savage collector, you do not "hate" any of them. You just add others to your collection before you add those. End of story.

My 75th is new in the box. If I could find one that was already used and the price was reasonable I would buy it, scope it and go shoot elk with it. Or trade any of the six remaining guns in my for sale post up or down if any of you want to get rid of a used one.

Be interesting to see what it goes for!

Thanks Lowrance. I'm a long ways away so won't try to bid on it. Let me know if you know how much it goes for. Thanks, David

I'm not sure what Savage was trying for with that one. Whatever it was it wasn't a home run.

I don't like that poor decision of a rifle, and I ain't buying any rifles I don't like even if I needed one for a collection. I wishtohell I still had my K-22 of the same vintage. That rascal shot like a young rifle.

I'm not sure what Savage was trying for with that one. Uhhhh... a 75th Anniversary Model? I have one. Haven't shot it, but thinking about it. Comments I've read from guys that shoot them have been favorable. Straight stock, lever safety, tapered octagonal barrel, factory D&T, quality workmanship... all good. Some bemoan the .308 caliber. That was a popular caliber in 1970, why not? Besides which of 4 Savage calibers should they have chosen? Don't answer. Currently Savage is offering a Model 110 125th anniversary in Savage calibers, advertising the heck out of it but I don't think they are exactly flying off the shelves. I don't think the "haters" really hate them. They just have an opinion (strong) on the caliber.

I shot one once many years ago. My shoulder still aches from the bite of that crescent buttplate driven into my shoulder via the punch of a .308.

I don't hate them. I just don't like them so I'll spend my hard earned money on other things.

Hate is such a strong word. But applicable.
