Dave you KNOW I love my savage Rifles.. but I got cussed mad at a savage shotgun (borrowed) for a grouse hunt that dad and I about broke over a tree. We were in good timber flushing with our springer spaniels when (whoop whoop whoop) 3 big blue grouse go right over us as the dogs flush... i swing and fire a shot and i miss the follow up because my dad is cursing a blue streak. ( I though he was hurt or something) The SAFETY LEVER FELL OFF the shotgun.. so you could not disengage it. He SWEARS he could have bagged 2. Not life threatening but it ruined our hunt. Like I said it was borrowed so the NEXT weekend in the field dad and I BOTH carried 870's.
The worst part of this was the guy we borrowed the 20 guage pump savage from had been keeping it as his HD gun. I think he had it repaired and sold it to some other poor soul. I HOPE the gun was fixed.. but talk about a failure at the WORST possible moment.
