Well, we've certainly strayed a bit from why manufacturers shouldn't send out replacement magazines that look like parallelograms (if that's what happened).
One phone call and three-ish emails; if they spent 10 minutes total answering my questions I'd be surprised. They were certainly aware my interest was speculative and had they requested a small deposit to begin the process I would've thrown a few bucks their way.
BTW, it was obvious from my interaction(s) that these were people who enjoyed their jobs; if I were a honcho at Savage, I'd make positions like these a reward for performance:
"Top 3 employees for the quarter get to spend 2 weeks manning the custom order area. Now go wash my car!"
Even though I didn't "pull the trigger", so to speak, notice I am in a Savage thread extolling their worth? I've also popped up in a few "Savage vs. RemMarChesterLin" threads... and probably will pop up in the next one.
I'm also taking 1/3 credit for a buddy's purchase of a Savage in .308 (which I have also carried on a couple of hunts); after hearing me agonize over my 600m rifle he looked into Savages as well... and bought a Model 14 Classic.
In short, I feel the attitude expressed in your post is illustrative of why so many companies are in trouble today (and ripe for takeover by the likes of Cerberus for a mere pittance), why they are having so many QC issues, and why so many jobs have been lost to robots and/or headed overseas... too busy treading water to stay alive NOW, with no thought of tomorrow.
What will they do if the LE/Military/Obama's Gonna Take My Guns "surge" ends?
My next rifle? It's Savage's to lose.
Unless I go full custom... and then it still might have a Savage action
Best
