Depends on how you define quality. If downrange performance is how you define it, Savage rifles are extremely high quality. I bet the ad guy who came up with "you get what you pay for" is still proud of himself. The nitwit.
If what I'm seeing at the range is normal then this seems to be true. I don't use one, but the people there that do seem to be quite happy with them.The Savage line of rifles are some of the most accurate out of the box rifles going.
People also don't like the cheap looking trigger guards on Savages. Many if not most of those are plastic. Plastic doesn't get my vote for better looking either but high grade plastic can look pretty good and Savage uses high grade plastic on their trigger guards.
The Savage MK II was terrible. The bolt action was loose and stiff, the magazines didn't line up right with the chamber (feeding problems) and the gun has 2 extractors. Two extractors?!! Which frequently holds onto the brass instead of flinging it out the side. Lame idea
We could go on and on about synthetic components. The fact is they are here to stay and no amount of rolling eyes will change that.
In this case you are really getting what you paid for. Their rifle is designed to cut costs in certain areas relative to manufacture that is efficient. This is done in such a way that accuracy is inhanced.Opinions of Savage rifles?

There is a question about quality, however. With guns maybe more than anything else, you get what you pay for.
Why are they priced so much less?

You also have the option of stocks with aluminum bedding like the HS Precision from the factory of Savage.
