Got a co-worker whose going to buy a gun for his uncle as a gift. He wants to get him the 11FXP3 Savage in .308 from WSS. I don't own any Savages myself but I told him I'd get some comments on it.

Any pros or cons?
 
Most people either love or hate Savages. I love mine but I admit they are not the prettiest out there. I really prefer the look of a traditional Mauser action, but like the accuracy and barrel swapping that a Savage offers.

He should maybe find out what his Uncle has in case he is part of the group that hates them.

Just a thought
 
Savages

The latest ones,the ones with the Accutrigger and center feed are pretty good rifles.The knocks on Savages were their trigger, and sometimes, feeding questions,their latest engineering efforts have solved both questions. Everyone will accept their accuracy is very good. It's a much safer design than any M-70 Winchester. Looks.......,the bolt handle looking like an afterthought,even my P-17 Enfield bolt handle looks better,the wing sear,and the barrel nut.
