More Savage AINT SHIT DRIVEL...MORE OBNOXIOUS REMMY FAN BOI SHIT...
A. I've got at least 3000 rounds thru a 110FP I bought in 1995...NEVER SO MUCH AS A HICCUP...only changes are scope upgrades and stock...hell I've never even glass bedded it and it's still shoot circles around most Factory Remingtons...
B. I can show you multiple instances where SAVAGE not only finished 3-5 day courses but finished well into the top tier against guns that cost 3-4-5 times the $$$...
C. There is a reason Savage sells more F-CLASS, PALMA and BENCH REST RIFLES to competitive shooters than every other US Rifle manufacturer COMBINED...
D. Mark IVs are rugged, repeatable, and have come way down in price over the last few years...YES there are other alternatives in that price range...
E. I am a former USMC 2111 Armorer, 2112 RTE Rifle Team Equipment Armorer, I can buy any damned thing I want...I shoot a couple of Savages that bitchslap just about everything that comes up alongside the bench...its FUNNY to watch a guy scratch his noggin over the $1500 Savage kicking his ass...
The kids got a budget...Instead of poo pooing him and telling him to get a better job, you can't afford this hobby, yada yada...I offered options...real world options...not hindrances...
Clearly the Marine Corps doesn't teach debductive reasoning..........IF you care to know.. rems are pieces of shit as well, and can go share a trashcan with savage rifles.
1. Congradulations on your statisticaly insignificant achievement... I am sure there is a guy out there with a 200K round Olympic Arms Ar and nary a malfunction as well.
2. Amazing , never happens in the real world. How many people trust their Lives (or the lives of others) to a savage?
3. LOL at your gun games where reliability means nothing......That just shows they make cheaper and more accurate rifles than the other garbage company remington. When you need them and are inadverse conditions, they will fail.
4. And their glass sucks, they have enough issues to be significant, Are not FFP and still use retarded MOA adjustments that don't match the reticle (MD/TMR/Premier). They are a relic and technology has rendered them completley obsolete. If they dropped in price by about half......maybe you would have grounds........... but they are fucking garbage and overpriced compared to Vortex/Bushnell/NF(when they were cheaper)
5. I am a former Army Armorer. I can buy any damned thing I want. I shoot everything and decide what works, what doesn't and what Is worth my money in the long run. 90% of the time its the Indian not the Arrow, but a broken fucking arrow does not hit the target.
When he decides to sell his rifle to either upgrade or drop the hobby, he is going to lose money... Money that is most likley spent on other ventures.......but that's the financial advisor in me talking and that's for another thread.
Good advice would be telling him if he only has 1500 to spend, then this is NOT the right hobby/sport for him. It gets expensive fast and unless you have considerable disposable income......its a waste to buy a bunch of shit and never be able to afford to use it.
