I myself like the better brand names in firearms. Few years back I got rid of my deer rifle and was planning a certain day to go buy a new Browing A bolt in 270. Then one of my sons had a bad breakdown with thier car and needed some money to get it repaired. So I went from a new Browning budget to a Savage. I got it new and kept it long enough to hunt the one season. It shot well but overall it seemed to me to be a cheap gun and that they cut corners any place they could without compromising safety. I traded it on a M77 Ruger that I got a very good deal on. The Ruger will shoot the same groups that the Savage did and IMO is a better over built gun. The biggest thing that I noticed on the Savage was the stock was really flimsy and some of the small parts were cheaply made. I did not fire more than 100 rounds through it so I would not even consider calling my evaluation of it as fair.
The big issue here is ammo availability. 223/556 is just about impossible to find right now. 243 IMO is an OK round for big game at shorter ranges but lacks the power needed past about 300 years for deer. 300 or less is OK. I've looked at 22-250 but in many places it's only good for varmit. My next gun which will be a varmit/hunting gun is going to be 25.06. My son is taking a gun smithing course right now. I'm going to have him build me one. He has to for school so I figure I can help him out by paying for the parts. He even has to make the stock. I think that is next semester that he has to start working on it. If it turns out to be a piece of junk I'll just buy a decent one later.
