Savage Smokeless back in production
« on: June 17, 2011, 03:21:12 AM »
This may have already been posted, but thought I would share it just in case.

Apparently Savage was overrun with demand for their smokeless muzzleloader after announcing it would cease production.

Savage decide to continue the model and is currently making two forms of the smokeless, both blued barrels one with a black stock and one with a camo stock.  Thought this might be of interest to some who are still looking at a smokeless muzzleloader.

Read about it here:

I thought it was only a "final" run. 
Good to know that Savage even made improvements.  Now to find one at a decent price.  ;D

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

Apparently they made a "final run" in January and people wanted more, so they decided to keep production going "on a demand basis"  In other words if demand dies off below what they think it should be the will discontinue them.

Good news they are great muzzleloaders.
