Most of the Savage and and other cheap combo guns I've owned or shot haven't been much quality wise. Most cheap combo guns won't shoot both barrels to the same point of impact. In other words, if you zero the rifle scope for say 25 yards, the shotgun barrel often pattens well to the right/left/up/down etc. Higher dollar combo guns like the one Tikka made are a different story and normally have much more quality. Gunblast depends upon advertising dollars, so normally everything is great in their reviews.
