and ready to go. The picture shows the setup on the bench for mounting the scope and adjusting the sights with a video boresighting kit. The girl in the picture is no slouch, her record for mounting and boresighting a scope is 40 seconds!


Despite being the biggest manufacturer of bolt-actions rifles annually worldwide, the factory at Savage copes without fuss and does what it does very efficiently. None of the rifles built are for stock as everything built is to order and can be a batch of Axis rifles one day or a small run of F Class rifles the next. The fact that Savage even bother to build a dedicated range of target rifles, let alone sell the actions individually is a real bonus for us, the end users. Their F Class rifles have already proven themselves as utterly capable in all levels of competition out of the box and I am surprised that none of the other manufacturers have followed suit.


In reality, sales of the F Class rifles are irrelevant to Savage being such a small part of the overall picture in terms of numbers. Bill estimated that it amounted to less than 5% of the rifles built, however I have always likened it to Formula One in that it becomes an engineering showcase for your products. With


Team Savage winning medals at competitions all round the world it certainly can’t hurt the sales of their hunting rifles. Testimony to the accuracy of Savage rifles is the fact that they hold two National F Class (F T/R) records that bizarrely enough were set within hours of each other on either side of the Atlantic last August at 1000 yards – in a sport that would otherwise be dominated by custom rifles.


Our visit, whilst brief, was busy and a great insight into how to make 1000 rifles a day! With a good mix of the old and the new it was well worth the effort going over there and meeting the people that are Savage Arms. As a private company, they are perhaps somewhat more in control of the direction they are heading than others but if the last few years are anything to go by, then I would hazard a bet that they will continue to build affordable and accurate rifles for the masses for some time to come.
