Serious, some of the best groups I have ever seen out a factory rifle have been out of Savages. Besides, they gave us the Accutrigger, (and all of it's knock offs) which means we can have a 1.5 lb trigger again and have it be lawyer safe!!!!
And from what I see in the pics, that gun was re-blued at some point, as if the stock looks like that, there's no way the blueing would still look that nice. What are your intentions, just re-staining the wood?? Nice little project you seem to have there on a neat old gun!!
