Yep, my tomato stake 10FP is ugly as sin. But, the tiny little groups it shoots are sure purty.

Have you shot one?   Didn't think so.  What precisely is the function of a "sniper rifle?"  Let's see, the Savage pokes holes in itty bitty groups.  Well, that's about it.  I'd say it qualifies as a sniper rifle, except that it doesn't have KP's name on it.

IBD. You can't judge a company today by what it made in 1970.....God...that was 40 years ago.  If that is ok then Honda, Toyota, and Mazda are the biggest pieces of shit anywhere.  Made from reprocessed USA beer cans. (except the CB line of motorcycles)

todays Savage rifles are low fit and finish quality.  the Accucu trigger is junk from the get-go.    they are reasonable accurate.

All you guys......define ugly for the 110 rifle.......if it's the bbl nut you all got in mind even that is not ugly just different......otherwise the non walnut stocks maybe.....

again DEFINE UGLY as it pertains to the Savage 110 series of rifles vs Win & Rem & Howa & Vanguard & etc! 

I actually got to see a 22 lr barrel get shot out.   I was shooting comp with 22lr indoor.   A friend was shooting an old H&R revolver, that was competitive.  He had purchased it 2 or 10th handed.  It was probably 1938, pre-WW-2 vintage>  One night it just started to key-hole   looking at oour posted scores it was claer the barrel was thin to say the least.  no telling how many rounds, but I'd bet it was north of 15,000.

At that time I got the gun (paid $2) and cut the barrel back to 2" and made it a snake gun with 22 lr bird shot.   Sold it to t afishing buddy for $4, probably still functioning as a snake gun.

Fella's;

I had a Lakefield/Savage MKII .22 rimfire once upon a time.  After I worked it over, it was a good little 75 yard gopher gun.  I sold it to a gentleman who's son was also left handed & he wanted a decent .22 for a gift for the kid.  I then took the proceeds & purchased my first CZ452 lefty.

I sold the Savage for slightly more than I paid for it, but had also put a fair amount of work into it.  In fact, I think I detailed that project a few years ago here on site.  I'd buy another Savage MKII, without the accutrigger thenkewveddymuch, as a loaner/backup & maybe I will sometime down the line.

I don't have a Savage centerfire.  Never did, & doubt, with the exception of the 99's, that I ever will.  Even in the depths of "I wanna" left hand trying to get whichever gun, I never could force myself to that extreme.  In fact, I tried once to buy a Savage in .338 Winchester magnum.  I had the money, but even though the company catalogued the item, delivery could not be accomplished.  Instead, I wound up with my first, but certainly not last, Tikka & have never looked back.

Is it true that after some period of hard use, the removable/replaceable bolt head has been known to fall off?
