    Yeah mate... they have come a long way.. years ago they had a rep as shit firearms.... not anymore ,I have several and have no issues at all


    Quote...It was interesting to have a look around a gun shop in Canada last year and see Savages outnumbering most other brands on their racks 2:1, and not much cheaper than our prices once you take taxes into account.

    Should have just kept your 260 Carbonlite
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    That's good advice @Gravel Ben. I had a trawl through my email to try and remember why I thought they were overpriced here, and bow remember the impression was created by my efforts to import a Varmint Low Profile in .22-250 1:9" twist. That was through Sportways, the NZ wholesaler.

    It was my cuz who was encouraging me to get one, but he'd told me what he could get it for... and I just about choked when I got the Sportways price. Just the way it is over here. I didn't go ahead with it.

    But yeah you're right, had a good look at the local selection and it is better than I thought.
