Anything single shot gets boring fairly quickly, especially compared to a semi-automatic. I first looked at/for the Savage 101 when I wanted to teach my daughter to shoot. She was sixteen at the time (my late wife's granddaughter, recently adopted by us) and, like many/most/all teenagers, more than slightly lacking in patience and discipline. I wanted something single shot so I wouldn't have to continually jump on her for shooting too fast.
As it turned out, the opportunity to teach her to shoot never came around. When my wife died three (and a half) years ago, my daughter went off the deep end and made seven attempts to kill herself within six months. There's no way I'm going to let her anywhere near a firearm. Even one shot would be enough to finish the job.
But I still think one of those Savages would be cool to have around -- but not for $450.
