A good friend of mine has one, and it shoots almost as well as my browning A-Bolt slug gun.
The only real difference, is the recoil. My browning has a better feel to it. When it recoils, it almost just rises. The savage seems to be more in line, and kicks a little more, at least it feels that way. But my friends shoots 3" groups at a hundred. Not bad for a slug gun. They must be ok, his dad and cousin also bought them.
