kyska Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 I've had a couple of savages, nicely built, look nice and the trigger on the newer ones are fantastic. I had a thumbhole btvs and it just didn't suit me, couldn't shoulder it right, but that was me. Magazine release is awkward and didn't cycle as well as the cz. All in all I'd have another, no real issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 This is a pic of mine, in .17, looks lovely, I ended up with a non thumbhole in .22 and really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 I have the same as kyska above. Great rifle - only groan is the mag release, but overall deadly accurate and a pleasure to own and very pretty IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As at yesterday they had the CZ in as well so you can do a good comparison! If you dont already have a good relationship with them drop my name into the deal and you should be good for a little off the price! Done this a few times recently and they seem happy to look after people Ive referred! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.Gnun Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I have the same as kyska above. Great rifle - only groan is the mag release, but overall deadly accurate and a pleasure to own and very pretty IMO i have a .22lr mk11 savage synthetic stock -modified as it had open sights -i ground them of as the rear sight stoped a scope being mounted ,so i ground the front of too ,got it completly flat then re blued it all -nice and light to carry ideal for hunting -mag is a bit awquard to remove but practice makes perfect - bit tricky relaxing the bolt when not in use to save the bolt spring ! watch your fingers or it will bite you -trust me -oooouch ! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacker Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I'd go for the cz thumbhole - nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 The 452 has the new trigger, its a massive improvement, come with a set trigger as standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
