Savage Renegauge

I just picked one up and had a look at it(on sale at Canadian tire) the other day. Am also curious as it seemed to point nice .Not to enamoured with the stock but I probably need to get used to it. Anybody else??
 
No left model mentioned.

Here is something we haven't heard before.

"The patented D.R.I.V. (Dual Regulating Inline Valve) gas system ensures excess gas vents before it drives the bolt, resulting in consistent ejection, less felt recoil, and a lightning fast cyclic rate for dependably fast split times." Just DRIVEL if it is just another jam-o-matic.

Do not get me wrong, I like Savage products, and own many. Whether this can upstage the 1100, or get around the A400, remains to be seen.

Bruce Buck reviews this gun in the latest Shooting Sportsman. He gives it good marks for construction and operation, fail in handling, he says it's much too nose heavy for a field gun.

All the autoloader manufacturers make similar claims. And it often works. Every gun maker has fanboys that spout drivel right off the manufacturers homepage. Fastest cycling is my favourite.
 
There is a CGN’r with a signature that says “life is too short to shoot ugly guns”. That statement seems appropriate in a conversation about the Savage Renegauge.

So exactly which full dipped 12 gauge autoloader actually looks beautiful? If you want purty get a double gun with walnut furniture otherwise who gives a hoot about ugly in a duck blind. Your there to kill them not impress them.

Ever heard of Browning? How about Beretta? Maybe Winchester, Remington and Mossberg ring a bell? Camo dipped has nothing to do with it. There are lots of camo dipped guns at various price points that are nice and that don't have radically ugly designs. The renegauge is not one of them. Its just plain ugly. The design of the front and rear stocks are quite brutal, as is the useless fluted barrel, rubber cheek riser and recoil pad to name a few features. Combine that with the guns price point, I don't see many walking away from tried, tested, and true designs offered by all the other leading manufactures. But to each their own.....there is always a guy willing to bang the ugly chicks...

Furniture - in British-speak, the visible small steel parts of a double gun: toplever, triggerguard, safety tab, forend release lever, etc. These parts are normally blued.

No such thing as walnut furniture. Never has been, never will be.
 
Ok resurrecting an old thread seen one of these at the gun club. Guy was thinking of selling it as he has had shoulder surgery and thought that "new" gas system would allow for 12g recoil but alas no.Picked it up was not the crowbar I was expecting so made him an offer but he said no as at that price his son would probably buy it ,then a call yesterday am I still interested ...well hmmm...
 
On sale at Cabelas so took the plunge ,first impressions its bow heavy ,do not really like the bulbous forearm or the plastic pistol grip .Likes ,,recoil is yes surprising less even with 3" .Cycles well ,shoots poi on the pattern board slight left ,(me) .Acid test will be duck hunting this weekend Have owned 1100,browning gold,A400 and Benelli SBE so am pretty familiar with autos.Fit and finish not up to Italian but it works so that is all that matters in a field gun.see how it works out.

I have heard that ugly chicks are very appreciative of a good banging.
