I've heard alot of people say that the Savage is a good rifle but very ugly. Personally, I don't see what makes them ugly. Could someone explain why they are considered ugly guns and whether or not looks matter to you.

I'm with you, my savage is great and looks cool.

If I'm hunting with a gun, I don't care what it looks like as long as it's safe and accurate.

Savage looks ok to me.

It used to be that the more expensive guns had better wood ...walnut... and if you looked them over could find one with a nice grain and cut checkering.
Savage is usually a "hard wood" stock ( birch) and if it's ckeckered it's pressed.

As far as looks ... I've had many friends that bought pretty guns, and then were affraid to take them into the woods ( didn't want to scratch the stock) so they used a win 94 .30-30. I say get a savage and use it.

Who says they're ugly. The old 99 and 99Cs are classic man. My brother has one, my other brother has one, their sons have them... it's a family thing. I'm the odd ball with all my Remingtons.

If you want a gun just to stare at buy a pretty gun. If you want one to hunt with does it matter if it's a show piece? Buy the Savage and use it for what it was made for.I don't think the Savage is ugly. I'll agree it's not a Browning but doesn't need to be to get your deer.....Ruger Redhawk
