Well Guffey, Savage has a reputation for building excellent rifles. They do not have such a great reputation at fixing their screw ups.
You could buy Smith and Wesson Rifles (TC). They have an excellent reputation at fixing their screw ups. They have made so many screw ups, they have become quite proficient at fixing them.
I have to print off one of their return labels tomorrow and drop one on the FED EX truck.
