When I think of a Savage rifle I think of their hunter line with cheap plastic stocks and a utilitarian finish. I've never thought of Savage rifles as being eye appealing, but it seems that's about to change.
I've been taking an increasingly harder look at the 14/114 American Classic rifle. It has polished blued finish, American Walnut stock with straight comb and wrap around checkering, and a detachable magazine.
According to the 2008 Savage catalog they "introduced a jeweled bolt." The gun stores in my local area don't have the newer jeweled bolt Classic rifles and the older Classic rifles have a plastic trigger guard. I have heard, but haven't been able to confirm, that the newer Classic rifles with jeweled bolts have metal trigger guards. Anyone have any information on this?
The combination of attractive polished blued finish, attractive walnut stock, attractive jeweled bolt, good trigger, and a good barrel is very, well, attractive
I think Savage is heading in a good direction and giving it's customers that they're asking for. At $600 the 14/114 American Classic is less expensive than the Remington 700 CDL or BDL.
