Remington's newest economy rifle

[reynolds357]

I agree with you Magnum Wheel Man. I looked at the Ruger Americans and brought home a Savage lightweight hunter. It has beautiful wood and is truly a beautiful rifle. It reminds me of BDL's made in the 80's. I would not buy one of the 783's purely because the safety on them is so crappy looking. It does not scream "cheap." There is nothing wrong with Cheap. It screams "junky."

Art Eatman:

You are right that bolt guns last forever.
My (four) Enfield #4/Mk.1s were manufactured in 1943 or so, and both Spanish FR8 carbines have very strong, large-ring 8mm Mauser actions which must also have been built in the 40s.

Am very thankful that so many were Not bubbafied.

Its not a Savage or Ruger but I do think this rifle will be a few steps above the 710 and 770

That's not exactly hard to do. You'd have to really work at it to make a rifle worse than a 770...

Remington was on track to do just that for a while. They must be the only company on Earth that could manage to screw up a Mauser simply by being the importer.

Savage Edge/Axis - cut corners on an existing design, and gave it a different name (...and had to rename it AGAIN, because it didn't have the best reputation)

Not a fan of the Axis.. But they change the name because McMillan has "Edge" trademarked.. McMillan politely informed Savage of this trademark infringement and Savage renamed the rifle the Axis...
