American Classic
Looking into buying the Savage American Classic, probably in .308. Anybody know much about this rifle? Heard nothing but good about the trigger, and want something with a detachable magazine. Doesn't hurt that it's a real eye catcher, too. Any pros or cons?

RE: American Classic
This thread made me run over to there sight, have you looked at their Euro Classic? (don't know if you've been looking in stores or online.) IMHO its a better looking rifle and comes with monte carlo stock and iron sights. (something I wish more rifles came with nowadays)

RE: American Classic
i too have been recently looking for a 308 and bein a remington man i dont like to stray but they dont really make a whole lot in 308 so i went to the next i thought of and found the american and i like how it looks but the euro is a bit nicer believe if you like the monte carlo its definetly better. the american is nice but i believe i will get the euro if i decide to go the the 308. is it me or does the euro look bout the same as a rem. bdl

RE: American Classic
Okie and 700,
You might run over to CZusa. I find there guns especially "pleasing" to the eyes and have heard only good things about them. They are more of a mauser-styled action and will be a little more than a savage but much. They make a full barrel-length stocked gun in some calibers (forget what they call the style...may manchlinner or something like that) that I at first hated, but the more I look at her the last few months the pretty she gets.[8D]
