Here's my Camry in 30.06. Prints sub MOA with factory and 0.5" with partition hand loads. Kind of ugly though. The slick as gooseshick 33 degree throw and crisp as glass trigger break helps to make up for that. We call it the meat rifle. What model Savage are you comparing this to?

Those rifles are always better than average, doing what they're designed to do, and always with a touch of class. I don't think I know anybody that is unhappy with their x and a-bolts, and 9 times out of 10, they spend their free time in the field, not on the Internet.

I hear you Kurgan. 99 times out of a hundred my thoughts about the a-bolt have been about shooting in the field. 1 time in 100 its about why others under-appreciate the a-bolt. 0 times out of a hundred I wished I had a Savage instead.
Emerson, you keep on drinking your accu-KoolAid. Think how much better than an axis your rifle is and reach next for the Sako comparison. Browning? Peh! Browning shmowning.
 
If I had $3k+ I would have a Sako and great glass instead of a CZ with a basic used VX3. Budget vs performance is more than a just a value discussion for some of us at this point in life. Import vehicles are very nice. I drive a Dodge Caravan and a Chev because they get me around within my available budget. Same reason I shoot a Savage.

With 3 K in the budget I would skip the Sako and take my Savage or CZ (or A-Bolt in my case) on a nice trip. <Insert Emogie with two guys tapping mugs together>.

That's the rifle that I wish my buddy had bought for a survival rifle in his Super Cub (but in 308 due to his locale). But he bought a Guide Gun. Still, he'll probably never have another survival situation like the one he had (bad weather forced him down at an abandoned mine, ran out of food before the weather broke and couldn't get close enough to kill a caribou - stuck for a week) so the 45-70 should do for keeping grizzlies out of his camp.

The stainless laminate take-down is also available in 450 Marlin. Wish it were available in 416 Ruger. :cool:

I like Browning shotguns, UT I am not a fan of their rifles. The fit and finish is good, but the design of the rifles could be better, especially the triggers.

Just be leary of their Duracoat finish or whatever it's called - I don't even know if they still offer it, but I had a BPS that went all tacky on me, and felt like it was covered in snot.

...bought an 1885 in 7mm Rem Mag when they first came out...added a front globe sight and a rear tang sight...exceptionally accurate gun...hunted antelope on the prairie with it mostly and some mulies...friend bought one in 45-70...if i had bought that caliber i'd still have it...just lost interest in the 7mm...well made
 
I have an A bolt in 25wssm SS. It's taken at least 30 bucks over the years I finally treated it to a new modern optic. I also have a carbon fluted X bolt in 270 SS. Nice rifles. I also have a t3x in 243win SS.
