Do they still make Savage guns? I have a .410 single shot that belonged to my grandpa that is at least 50 years old probably older,killed my first squirrel with that gun.
As far as the rifles they made in later years,a friend of mine bought a 7mm mag made by savage a few years back and it was a decent shotting gun for the price.He killed several deer with it and it would group as well as my Remington 700 BDL .30-06 would.The only complaint I ever had about a 7 mm mag ( I owned the Remington bolt variety) was that they kicked like a mule,but you can sure shoot a long ways with one and have knockdown power.
Sorry I can't tell you more,but if the gun shoots and groups well , it should be fine.
