The new SAVAGE "EDGE

[spenom]

Has anyone seen the new Edge range from Savage? it only just came up on the Savage website!

They are cheaper than Stevens 200s!!! MSRP $329 and they have a detachable mag!

I wonder what action they are based off?

That looks like a totally different action to me... but it's kinda hard to tell.

Interesting. It almost looks like Sako and Remington had a baby and dropped it on Savages door step.

Interesting. It might make a nice platform for a wildcat build.

 

[dfarrell]

looks like the action from the LRPV with a different bolt arm and appears it has dovetail rail?????

 

[Pathfinder]

Little bit fugly but cheap...is the receiver grooved for bases or are my eyes acting up after St-Paddy's ?

 

[casterpollox]

It says drilled and tapped for scope base so I'm not sure if that's what you're seeing... but I thought I saw that too.

Bottom left of the page it says right click here. Do that and you can zoom right in.

Something ugly about the grip to reciever transition.

This is all I could find over at Savage Shooters.

Savage EDGE ( started shipping March 1st, no info on availability) to be positioned between the Stevens & Accutrigger Savages.

1. New design, MACHINED receiver
2. New Bolt
3. New Trigger
4. DBM (plastic)
5. New stock

6. 223 1-9 twist
7. 243 1-9 1/4
8. 25-06 1-12
9. 7mm-08 1-11
10. 308 1-10

I'd have to say the action is different.

Based on MSRP alone its below the Stevens not in between. I wonder how it will do in terms of accuracy and customization

 

[MadDog]

I wouldn't buy one right off the bat as it's a "new design" and you know that always means they gotta work the bugs out.

 

[TheTooner]

I like a detachable magazine, but there are reasonably priced Savage models that already do that, and they could have just added that feature to the Stevens 200. I don't see what significant advantage the Edge offers over existing Savage and Stevens models except novelty, and I'll be sorry to see a good gunmaker running down that road to nowhere.

It's to bad they couldn't hire a designer with more artistic mettle than a gnat to come up with something nice.

Still looks foggy...Ill give it a few more hours.

I missed the part about being Drilled and tapped so I guess that anwsers my question.

Grip to receiver transition is quite ugly indeed.

 

[Ormachek]

It is ugly. Kinda looks 770ish to me. Hopefully it's designed/built up to Savage's usual standards though.

 

[DrawBlood]

Looks cool but WTFrig is it?

 

[tbrwlf]

I just like the fact it has a detachable magazine. If I had seen it I might have waited before buying my stevens 200 in .223. I hate loading the center feed mag.

X2! I just can't bring myself past the first impression yet.

 

[DrawBlood]

I might get one but would sell the stock just to see what I could get for it. Still bugs me that I don't know what the action is.

 

[iroc22]

With the name and stock design, it seems like they are trying to appeal to a younger, more modern crowd.

Interesting that there's no magnum calibers available. Could this gun spell the end of the Stevens?
