[hawk-i]

Not the last time I checked.
I'm over by 2 body parts on the top end and shy one in the front lower middle to be a "dude".

LOL....pics or it ain't true!

The word "purse" and handle "torontogungal" gave it away for me.

Could be westicle with that description...

And how many members here hunt those remote and exspensive to get to locations?

About the same as the number of members that need an 18" .338...

Fair enough.

Now which one is better... 338 Win or 375 Ruger?

The question should be, which one will give you better muzzle flash with a 18 inch barrel.

Ruger...might as well make it worth your while...

Boomer:
Nothing falling off of my 2 Savage rifles and I've put 100's of rounds down the spout and several deer in the fridge and a few miles through rough bush with them slung over my shoulder in all kinds of weather.
I don't baby my guns.
They're automatically working guns if they're in my gun safe.
If they don't stand up they'll find themselves on a used rack pronto.
And I'll take the bug sized Savage groups vs 2" Ruger groups even if I'm forced to keep $300 in my purse to get that kind of accuracy.
You won't need to twist my arm to make that decision ether.

In that case, you've chosen well and your choice is supported by your personnel experience and success. I know a few guys who swear by their Savage 110s and tend to sneer at the thought of a 700 Remington. Let me kow how you make out with the cold bore shot on the softball.

Its a username, not gps...

 

[SHELL SHUCKER]

he's talking about real, tough conditions, like Kodiak island, the Arctic,
Africa, etc. not Ontario deer camps.

I'd bet no one takes Savages to hunt cape buffalo...

I've not seen any posts on Savages (Or Remmy 700's)being used
on Cape Buffalo, but I'm sure some folks may have used them.
Most PH's in Africa prefer their clients to use double rifles without
an auto-safety or a Mauser based bolt gun due to their controlled
round feeding.

I have no squabbles with Savage bolt guns, but really wish they
would re-introduce the M99 lever guns. Miruku could make 'em
for them like they make rifles for Winchester.

Yeah, but you're a trained investigator, it's not fair.

 

[limit time]

So what is the correct terminology for the Savage owners who feel the need to hate on high-end rifle owners?
Is it an inferiority complex or superiority complex?
Lucky for me I don't own either Savage or Cooper rifles.

I am perfectly happy driving a ten year old Honda Civic {keeps more cash in the pockets to waste on guns!}
it gets me anywhere I need to go reliably, but does it compare to the beautiful S2000 that just blew by me on the freeway...hell no!.
You either choose to get caught-up in the d$ck-measuring contest of our consumer based society or you choose not to.

Are you the offspring of a hippie or a metro ###ual?

Did not read them all, but did anyone mention LOUD? I bet that thing is painful to shoot...
