It's been awhile since we've done a rifle company profile. With that in mind, RJ Contorno is joining us on the show today to talk about Savage Arms. We're going to talk about the entire line of Savage's centerfire rifles from the Axis to the 110 and everything in between. I learned a few things about Savage myself during this interview, and I'm sure you will too.
Learn more at SavageArms.com and check out their Special Order Department if you're looking for a special rifle they don't offer in their catalog.
