Total Number of Model 1907 Pistols Made: 209,791. Along with the fact that Savage used some serial numbers for the Model 1915 and Model 1917 pistols. Take it to a professional gunsmith, as some are no more then tinkerers. Somebody that specializes in accuracizing firearms and have them look it over. A barrel cut and recrown may just be the ticket you are looking for and half the cost of a new barrel. If you barrel is over 24' that would be my first action to.

I'm in the market for a new hunting rifle and came across the Savage 111 in 30.06 for under $400 new with some POS rings and scope on it.

I don't care about the rings and scope as I'll be putting a Nikon Monarch w/ some Weaver rings on it, but I don't know much about these rifles. I would greatly appreciate any info I can get on these. It's a 22' barrel with a free float barrel I think it's got an accu-trigger but there is a trigger lock on it and I don't remember looking that hard at it. The stock is synthetic and the bolt has a jeweled pattern on it. I'm not overly hyped about it but for the $$ it's not bad.

I have also been considering the Weatherby Vanguard in 30.06. Any other suggestions would be great I'm trying to keep the rifle $500 or less. What do you guys think about these 2 rifles? OK I was wrong no accu-stock or trigger. Last edited by *Klutch*; February 27th, 2012 at 08:31 AM. Savage makes a good rifle and that does seem like a fair price, but if you're going to replace the scope and rings anyway I think you might be able to do a little better by looking around. I'd see what kind of sales are running at the big retailers (Cabelas, Gander Mt., Dunhams, and Dicks) for comparison.

Also for comparison, here's my local store's online gun lookup: Just click the link and click on 'Gun Search' on the next page. It looks like their Savage 111s start around $400 and go up from there. On a side note, you might consider the Savage 200 as well if you're on a budget.

They're basically a no-frills Savage, and are a bit cheaper because of it. Weatherby Vanguard has better resale value and better out of the box accuracy then the Savage. I would go for the new Savage rifle that came out that comes with the new scope package ( i forgot the name of it).I think you mean the Axis. To the OP, the Stevens 200 isn't a 'cheap' rifle, in fact I'd put in the same category as the Savage you asked about (synthetic stock, no accutrigger, base model rifle, etc.). It's still made by Savage and every bit as accurate, just not fancy. Just saying If you're looking to spend $400-500 though just because that's your budget, don't forget about the Rem.
