I dont think it looks bad.
When I was just a kid, there was a family that had left Germany, right after the war, and immigrated first to Canada, and then, here. The patriarch owned a Savage Fox BSE, and when I asked why he didnt have a German shotgun, he told me he couldnt afford a German gun when he was in Germany, nor could he afford to hunt. That all changed when he got to Canada, and continued when he got here. The Savage, he could swing the price of, with three kids. He also found places to hunt, that didnt cost money.
He was quite happy with things as they settled out for him.
A lot to be said for that. The old guy still lives near my Mom, alone now, and has never owned any gun but the Savage. The last few times Ive asked him to tag along, he has said he cant, but, thanks for asking.
A gun really just has to work.
Everything else, is just polish.
Best,
Ted
