It doesn't matter and this will be closed...TFL has changed greatly.
This is NOT an open forum..yet one ran by the Moderators.....if your rifle is not fit, lock down time.

Savage, Howa, Ruger posts do NOT belong...Check the history of posts closed........Non about Remmy 700..

I know of many a rifle that will put a Remmy to shame.....yet those posts are closed here.

It is a shame that mine will shoot as good as the pricey ones but I shouldn't be here....Art wil close this soon so post if you can.

Hell Art closes every thing about a Savage.....this is his 4th or so
 
Karsten, I think you might be exagerating, but a lot of people really are overlly enthusiastic about one brand (or maybe a couple). They act like you called their mom fat when you say that Remingtons are overrated or whatever else they think is superb...

It is kind of like the Chevy vs. Ford thing, I can handle a little of that debating nonsense, but in the end it is just stupid, oh by the way, I like Fords better.

I think it has to do with economic elitism, a cheap rifle that most can afford compared to a Remington is an insult to them...

We'll see if this thread gets closed down.

I understand the purpose of moderators, in order to keep the forum decent, but give someone a little bit of power and...

Thanks...but unless you own a Remmy at the least then you own a POS....Art will tell ya...he closes all Savage Posts.

TFL is back to a Read Only board......
 
Looks to me like the latest closed thread on this forum was closed because of the playground demeanor demonstrated by folks calin each other idiots while ignoring the topic of the thread.

Those who want to engage in such should go over to hardcore, where they can play without playground supervisors to inhibit them.

Karsten, You really need to get off this "Everyone hates me because i own a Savage" kick. Every post I see of yours has some snide remark about Remington, and about how all Remington owners are stuck up and bad mouth Savage all the time. This isn't the only board you do it on either. I have not read ONE post on here or elsewhere where a remington owner has badmouthed savage and sounded all snotty and stuck up. Yes there seem to be more Remington owners here than Savage (Myself included). Yes some of us are passionate about our guns. I have never seen anyone here or elsewhere badmouth Savage other than a few small criticisms which I believe are justified. (The stock and the trigger). Obviously you feel the same way as I have seen the pictures of your 2 twin Savages many many many many times on here and other boards and neither have the factory stock on them. Stop trying to start a war and go enjoy your rifles. Have a good day.
 
AMEN. Debates are fun, and can be very educational, but the backbiting could stop any time. By the way-I like Chevy's and drive a Ford. I own a Remington and like Savage/Ruger/Winchester/just about anything which will launch bullets. Own 3 Colts and my best friend's Beretta shoots like a dream for me-has even willed it to me if something happens to him. He gets my Colts.
 
What a stupid, pathetic pointless little whine.

In the last 60 days, by my count, exactly TWO threads have been closed by moderators, the one you're apparently kvetching about, and one entitled "Popping Bin Laden" on September 30, and both apparently for expanding too far into non-rifle related topics.

Over that 60 day period there have been DOZENS of threads about firearms other than Remingtons.

I also did a keyword search on Savage and using your poster name as a filter. 2 locked threads, one on Savage stocks, and the one you're kvetching about.

Additionally, for your amusement value, is a thread BASHING REMINGTON rifles...

Something is OBVIOUSLY wrong here. Art, why is this thread still open if it abases Remington rifles?

Where are all the other closed threads about non-Remington rifles that you infer exist?

The ones I participated in, regarding Model 99s, are still open. In fact, I own rifles by BOTH manufacturers.

Now here's something interesting, too. A thread, started by YOU, about a non-Remington rifle. And it's still open...

You're right about one thing, though, TFL HAS changed.

If anything, the moderators have become EVEN MORE TOLERANT, not less. You were involved in a thread on Savage stocks. It looks to be pretty evident that YOU were a LARGE part of it being closed, not any animus toward Savage rifles.

Something tells me that as long as you keep your comments on-topic and civil, you won't have to worry about your thread being closed.

You owe Art an apology.
 
REMMY??? PFHAUGH!!!!

You guys need to understand that nothing you own is good enough to be discussed unless it is a full-custom rifle/pistol built up from a receiver (properly blueprinted, then modified). Everything else is just gauche.:cool:
 
Its Ishapore or nothing!

Savage, Remington, Winchester, Sako, Weatherby...all crap. If you don't own an Ishapore Enfield, you will never shoot as good as I do. Sorry, that is just the way it is. You would be lucky if your rifles are worthy to be melted down and used as projectiles in my most awesome precision machine.

By the way, anyone want to buy an Ishapore Enfield Tanker .308? I will sell it to you cheap.
 
I am a proud savage owner and I love the savage company. I still like remmy's and never bad mouth them. The only one im concerned about is what I hear about the 710. Karsten, sorry to say this but you are being a little too whiney.
 
Karsten,

If you need constant reassurance that owning a Savage was the right move for you..........then it wasn't.

This childish tantrum throwing does not even work well over on the tinfoil hat board, and it bothers the adults here....Ok?:barf:
 
Wow what good manners.

Hey just because Karsten has an issue, doesn't give you guys the right to make insults and be rude. I might not see his point, but that doesn't mean I have to make insults and be generally rude. If he wants to rant, let him. Tell him you don't agree and end it. Why are we degrading to the playground at recess? Keep it civil guys.
 
I guess some folks don't get that it's the way they respond to their peers that's the problem, not if they like Remingtons, Winchesters, Marlins, Dakota's, or Hi-Points.

If anyone has a beef about people, this forum is not the place for it, so no more personal attacks.

In the hope of perhaps this thread having some relevance, let me say that I have discovered surprising accuracy from my Marlin 1895G- very close to MOA with GA Arms 300-grain JHP's. One day, I hope to get a nice little Savage, maybe a .250/3000...
 
I think Savages are good rifles...

I don't know what thread you are talking about where Remington owners bash Savage but I (me, myself, and I) have never said that Savages are:
a.) POS
b.) Total "junk"
c.) crap or any adjective along those lines.

I have only stated that Savages are not as good quality as some other rifles. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS SAYING THAT THEY ARE CRAP. I mentioned that I sold a Savage in another thread but I did not say that I sold it because it was a POS. I stated and restated that I sold it because I wanted a "better" rifle. Sorry but if I buy a new trigger and stock for a rifle I am generally left thinking that I should have bought a rifle with the good trigger and stock to begin with. I don't think that Savages are bad rifles but I (me, myself and I) don't like the feel of "stock" Savages. Now if you hand me a souped up Savage with a Jewell trigger, H-S Precision stock, and other numerous "aftermarket" improvements than I am not going to have the same complaints.

I have stated that no "stock" rifle: Sako, Tikka, Winchester, Remington, Savage, etc. is perfect. Generally, you always end up tweaking some part(s) of the rifle to make it fit YOU.
The "Tikka vs. Savage" thread was "rightly" closed because it was hopelessly off topic and everybody needed to cool off - the primary topic was not being addressed. If you are trying to restart this topic than I have stated my position and I still stand behind it.
 
Argle-bargle!

If anybody goes to the trouble to ascertain facts about anything I've said about anything, there is a "Search" feature, here.

But, to save trouble for the do-something-ly challenged: EVERY time anybody has queried about the Savage 110 series, I've responded that the consensus here is that they are quite accurate, but the triggers ain't such-a-much as issued.

I say "the consensus here" because I have no first-hand knowledge of the Savage. I would never "bash" anything for which I have no first-hand knowledge, no personal experience. I don't do that, and really don't care much for bashing in general, by anybody.

I could care less who owns what rifle. I could care less who likes or dislikes what rifle. Yeah, I could care less, but only if somebody explained how.

I only comment to folks or close threads when the subject gets lost in some sort of flaming and/or bickering. And, of course, bad language.

In the two + years I've been a Moderator, I have locked down doggoned few threads. I'm rather pleased that I've had to edit or email very few folks about their TFL behavior. And I have never yet banned anybody.

All I want out of anybody is that they act like grownups, and show courtesy and politeness.

Th-th-that's all, folks!
