Re: i bought the red headed step child

I have a Savage on the way. Don't really understand what's so ugly about them. "Pretty" is about the last thing on my list when purchasing any firearm, and the accuracy reputation precedes the Savage. So much I could say about the decline of Winchester and Remington, but I think anyone he...
