^What he said. I'd be interested, as I'd rather buy something from a U.S. company than a Beretta.
Right. Like Mazda launched the second generation Mazda6 two weeks before the economy imploded last time and nobody noticed. And S&W made all several brilliant scandium revolvers in 2008, which sold poorly that year, and won't put them back into production even though the used ones now command higher than new prices.
If only for 922(r) compliance. Don't want to start none here, as I've said everything I have to say about that in the 1301 thread.

Not another dime.
Another question... Has Savage engineered out the malfunction that the Beretta 1301 exhibit(ed) where a shell binds on the elevator if the bolt release is pressed while the bolt is forward? (Hope I explained the correctly.). Serious business. At $1,400 I need a reason to purchase this brand new product over the known-good 1301.
Also, it looks like Savage combined Mossberg’s Blink gas system with Remington’s Versamax. Not saying that’s a bad thing, just an observation. I like the Savage ethos of solid performing guns without a premium price tag. One thing though, Savage really needs to clean up that ugly ass weld where the action bars attach to the gas piston thing under the forend. I’ve seen that on a couple of videos now. Pure aesthetics I know, but at over a grand, that weld ought look just a little cleaner.

Sorry for my less than pleasant reply...I have been dealing with soooo many who think Savage ought to stay in their lane and
only build guns that are at the low end of the price spectrum. Having worked with Benelli, Stoeger, Winchester...Savage has
put everything the others have and more into this shooting machine...and we could not do it without pricing to match what we
exceed.
Guns are just machines and without you they can do no harm, nor any good
