This is the rifle that 25+years of hunting and shooting has brought me to.

For a long time of hunting and shooting thousands of rounds I've been in search of that one rifle I can reach for knowing it will take what ever abuse is put to it, be reliable and easily shoot as very accurate as the last time it was used, be a week a month or a year or two later. I've had issues in the past with wood stock guns warping over extended periods, throwing the guns point of impact and accuracy out the window. Will not ever get caught like that again, as like many others I only get some much time to hunt for my meat due to demanding work. I beleive I have found it

Bolt's on the wrong side. =]

I find it interesting how many are concerned about rust on blued barrels and water soaked stocks. Living on the west coast, I've never had a wood stock warp and affect my shots. Surface rust can develop, but cleans off easily back at camp or home. I can understand others desire for composite stocks and stainless barrels, but don't see the great need for them - even out here on the 'wet coast' where one is usually in the rain when hunting...

All that being said: looks like a nice rifle canadaman!

I"ve had many guns, expensive (pretty wood) rifles as well. Many have little to no bedding at all, I found out just how good or not so good the nice looking wood guns shoot over time. Holy Grail, not at all just a tool that I can count on. I payed for reliable performance and not for a name.

Thanks, and that's the problem being a lefty (shooter, not political) the blued models FCNS are not in left hand, so was forced to stainless.
 
Funny how so many people are bashing your choice because the guns not "pretty enough". He's found a good, working, hunting rifle that he doesn't have to worry about if it gets abused. It's a little bit different then having a safe queen you polish and show off more than you shoot, and even then it only gets shot when the weathers right or you're developing a load for more extreme paper hunting. The moment I realize I own guns I don't shoot because I want to keep them in good shape, ill give my head a shake and sell it.

I agree 100%. You choose what works best for you. I don't recall you were seeking approval on it but just sharing a good moment. These forums can be really nasty from what I have seen so far.
 
I had the good fortune to try out a bunch of Savages at a shoot last year. I was not impressed at all. But lots of guys love them, so what do I know? If it makes you happy, than do it.
 
Everyone needs at least one rifle in there cabinet they can count on when it's time to go hunting. As op stated there only so many days available to go afield - nice to have one you can be confident in when you do get out. I've gotten pretty close to finding "the one" - but I'm happily still searching for the next better one ;)
 
Have you had some range time yet? How does it print? How a rifle feels in your hands and how it shoots is most important...

My pal has one of those commemorative 300 Savages and it feels pretty good in my hands. Shoots great and he took a nice buck with it last year in the pissing down rain - now it's broken in!
