Yeah.... they actually still use that. It was on the grip caps of all the 111 series rifles with synthetic stocks up until a couple of years ago, and it's still on all their boxes and catalogues.
According to their website in 1919 they licenced Chief Lame Deer's likeness in perpetuity in exchange for Model 99 rifles for his band. Although seeing as they've been using that logo since 1903.... |

My only problem with Mosin carbines is that they shoot so damned high! I put two holes in the crossbar of my gong the first time I took out the M38.
It's funny, working in a gun shop in Winnipeg I deal a lot with first nations people off of reservations, and they buy a lot of Savages. Doesn't seem to bother them. |

Why do you keep making me more and more envious of you? The 1903 and Mosin in particular are real beauties.

The bore's actually pretty good. There's a bit of a crack in the stock, but it looks pretty stable. Caused by drying rather than recoil I think.
Spartan - thanks! |

Sometimes the coolest guns are kind of tore up, you know? My Parker Hale looks like it was thrown off a cliff, but it's just too good of a rifle to let that flaw get to me |

Exactly! I buy guns because they have history, if I wanted something perfect I'd go buy a Sako Bavarian at work.

Savage responded that the company is sensitive towards issues concerning the Indians, that Savage contributes to various organizations and charities and that the Indians who are in their ads approved of the campaign and it's depiction of Indians. Savage was dealing with that controversy long before professional sports teams were. Just FYI. |
