Thanks Geno. Naturally, I was surprised with the coincidence and happily enjoyed my time with them. They also each had a Model 12 in .308 (that I was also lucky enough to shoot ) that shot great. One of the brothers was shooting dime sized groups 300 yards with his. So this also reassures the Savage brand to me. I, too, have heard great things about their firearms but never had the opportunity to handle and use one until today. I had a blast.
