Was scowering around the cabelas website and found this gem at a heck of a price. My rifle loony senses are tingling hard so somebody please buy this out from under me so I don't do something stupid. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/100523130I think that rifle is gorgeous (maybe I am the only one) but I would have no use for this rifle other than to look at it and gawk.

This is the most beautiful Savage I've ever seen.

My thoughts exactly. Its rare to find a savage that is actually beautiful. This is a tough one to let slip for a gun porn addict like myself

No, I think I'll let you have it. I lived through the 1960s; no reason to go back.
Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!

I was wondering how old that rifle was. I could tell it was pretty old but I wasn't able to find anything on it

My initial reaction was, Savage, meh.
That one however...........
Pretty unique, if the chambering blows your hair back then why not? Ever see a luggage rack on a hurse?
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

I was in until I read the caliber then my neck started hurting and my left arm went numb.
Before my car wreck I was recoil sensitive but now it just hurts
