Savage 116 Weather Warrior $250

[haugenna]

I just picked up my Savage Weather Warrior brand new from Wholesale Sports and I am not impressed with Savage at all.  I guess you get what you pay for.  Everything looks good but the stock.  I may have to restock it.  The butt pad is way to soft and not sealed to the stock.  I can see rocks, snow, rain, you name it getting into the stock.  Can't beat it for the price though

This thing better drive some serious nails.

Yes, those stocks do suck, but for that price you can't beat it. What's it chambered in?

Of course I will be posting the progress of this gun with reloading.

Those stocks are world famous for the fact that they suck, I would think it would be no surprise. I think they are the original "Tupperware" stocks when folks call stocks "Tupperware". There are ways to improve them without having to replace them, but buying a new good stock is never a bad idea.... what do you mean when you say the pad is not sealed to the stock? I guess I see what you mean but ?? I ask because none of mine are, they are all attached with screws. That pad wouldn't last 10 minutes if it were mine. I'd replace it with a limbsaver in a heartbeat. With all that said, Savages are known to be great shooters at a great price, not known for being pretty.

Even $250.00 for the Savage stainless barreled-action is still a great deal!!  Yeah, the Savage stocks leave a lot to be desired... but, they're easily replaced.

Sealed meaning, no gaping holes to let small animals pass through.  JK. I like my Tikka b/c the butt pad fits firmly and some guns are glued to the stock with screws to support it.  Just poor quality in a gun.  Thats ok though, it gives me a reason to restock it.

well when you buy a savage you know it will be heavy, ugly, clumsy and shoot better then most rifles costing triple the price.  they know accuracy, but fit and finish......not so much

[yorketransport]

Do they have any more at that price?  I'll take it off your hands for $300 to cover your "pain and suffering".

I was told that the Savage will fit on a Rem700 stock?

Really?  Even with that barrel nut in the way?  Doesn't seem like it would work.

[high country]

it will fit on, but not in.

[haugenna]

it will fit on, but not in.

Do I need to hog out some material or won't that work?

Sounds like a good deal, just toss the stock and pick up a cheaper HS or Mcmillian and youe still into it cheap.

Ya, I'll be there.
Bring the rifle with, there might be something there. Other than that I don't know where any would be right off.
 I'll keep a look out though.
