browning vs savage... still cant decide
I've narrowed my choice for a left handed stainless steel rifle down to a savage or a browning. Accuracy is foremost. Its just for hunting but I want something MOA. Also, I've traded in my previous two rifles because I just haven't "fallen in love with them", so I want something I'll be able to keep instead of having to trade it in. I know the browning will cost about twice as much, but it is a nicer rifle so the cost difference does not bother me. Any opinions???

Browning is a much finer grade gun than Savage - period.

The Savage will be more accurate, and it is made in the USA.[:D]

Both are excellent shooters. The Savage maybe a little better than the Browning. The Browning however is a much better looking gun. You need to deside, if your going to hunt with them, which one your going to like better once it get some "battlescares" on it.

Obviously the Browning is going to be nicer finished, but I hear a lot of good stuff about the savageIn the end its gonna be which one feels best to you. Go to your friendly local dealer and handle both of them. I spent a long afternoon yrs ago doing this before buying my first brand new high powered rifle and i got the one i wanted 0 -
Finer Grade can mean Name Brand value and cosmetics.
I like the Savage better and is a better value. Made in America

I've got an issue with shiney, glittery guns for hunting. Reflection is counter productive.
Price does matter when you start accumulating dings and scrapes on a more expensive gun.0 -
If you want accuracy, than Browning is definitely the choice hands down. My brother use to own a Browning A-Bolt Medallion 30-06 with a Leupold scope and he could punch holes through quarters at 100 yards time after time. Browning is more expensive, but you get what you pay for. 0 -
I had a Very nice,wood-stocked,Ruger Mod.77 MkII .270 for several years and I loved it,but,after a while,I realized that my having to be so careful to keep from scratching it and thusly effecting "my" performance in the woods,I sold it and bought an A-Bolt Composite Stalker in .270.
I'm still careful with it,but hey,it's for hunting with,not for lookin' at,so if it gets a few battle scars along the way,so what?
I really like the 60 degree bolt throw on the A-Bolt as well.
Savage makes an excellent firearm and even though I have no hands-on experience with them,I feel certain that you won't be dissapointed if you decide to go that route.
Have you considered a Ruger,by chance?(Also American made,but I'm not sure about them makin' a "lefty".)
Me,I'm stickin' with my Browning.

The Savage will be more accurate than the Browning. If accuracy is foremost in your thinking I would go that way. The Browning, however, will be every bit as accurate as you will need for hunting. It will retain it's value better, provided you don't take it out and use it like a beat stick. That's how I would narrow it down if I was using the criteria you have given.

Savage will probably be the more accurate and browning will be nicer looking and feeling with a better resale value. if there was a chance you would rebarrel it in the future with a match grade barrel and maybe add an aftermarket stock, the savage is the better choice. If you are going to simply hunt with it for a long time and not re-sell or rebarrel with match compnents, then the browning will make a nice hunting companion.
why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....
