Re: Savage or Ruger?
thanks for the "bump" forest.
as much as i am a savage junkie, and a cheap skate, actually i think i would go with the ruger for a semi auto over the 64.
reasons :
1. 10/22 is one hell of a platform in the semi realm.
2. tons and tons of accessories available to fit any need from target to "tacticool" or somewhere in between.
3. dependability
4. other than a 12guage pump, IMO the second best survival weapon.
5. you never run out of stuff to put on your birthday, anniversary, christmas, father's day, etc. list.
plus it's accurate. if your stuck on a semi, i would have to get off the savage soapbox and say ruger.
if your looking for something "just to go bang" and don't plan on too much serious or repeatative shooting, the 64 would be better economically to keep in the closet and take out every now and then.
now a bolt, well, a savage for around $300.00 or less with much with "goodies".
