Let me throw out three guns to you and see which you would bite on. All are Savages. The caliber will be .308.
1st: The Euro Version.
http://www.savagearms.com/14EuroClassic.htm
Advantage: Iron sights, Monte Carlo stock aligns to the eye easier.
Disadvantage: Would prefer the satin finish of the American, not stainless, no muzzle brake
2nd: The American Classic version.
http://www.savagearms.com/14u.htm
Advantage: Good looking, classic stock should have less perceived recoil, detachable box magazine.
Disadvantages: No iron sights (which I prefer if the scope fails), blued steel less weather worthy than stainless.
3rd: The weather warrior.
http://www.savagearms.com/16fhsak.htm
Advantage: Stainless/synthetic combo more weather resistant, that muzzle brake that can be turned on or off (recoil reduction or keep your hearing)
Disadvantage: No iron sights, not as good looking as the American Classic, synthetic does not feel as good as a wood stock.
Weigh in, which would you choose and why?
