$3700 for a Savage? I own 3, enjoy them very much and they have been fine. That` s just nuts IMHO, however. To your question, I`ve not seen or heard of anyone with first hand experience with one. Not inordinately surprising. Even the guys on Savageshooters.com think that`s ridiculous.
It’s a Proof carbon barrel, that goes $1500 for a blank up here. $2K w/tax chambered and screwed on.
My LGS sells a LOT of Christianson rifles that seem to end up on the used rack pretty quick. Brand name sales power I guess.
JMHO, but Savage`s bread and butter in the sporting/hunting rifle market has been in the lower priced arena. They sell a lot a lot of rifles to the " average Joe " hunter and do a good job of producing rifles in the 110 line and, yes, the Axis line that can put metal on target and meat on the table. Having said that, they`ve also had problems with the well known and documented extraction and ejection issues in addition to heavy bolt lift complaints. While it`s true that there are fairly simple remedies for these issues, they shouldn`t be necessary. Customers should not have to buy and install bolt lift kits or extractors and ejector after market kits. Just one guy`s opinion, but I believe Savage and its marketing and sales would have been far better served by spending the capital that was expended on new product development for this rifle by concentrating said capital on improvements of current models to address said issues.
Where and what is “Snow Mexico”? Here’s the site MSRP:
Where does $3700 come into play? Especially considering street price is around $2400

For that much, just roll your own….

So the conversion rate is $3000 Canadian street price.
Sometimes, yes. Perhaps this one will be. I just have my doubts.
I wouldn't spend that amount on any brand rifle that doesn't have LOP adjustment or use an AI pattern magazine.

I wouldn’t spend that much on any brand rifle unless I had about 15 more years than I probably do left on the planet!
