New Savage Renegauge. New American-Made Semi-Auto from Savage.

Anyone have one of these yet or handled one. Looks like it might be worth a good look, I need something for one of the grand kids. I like the gas action and how it is released.

I’d be interested to hear the negatives as well and also what model they own.    The semi auto Viper model gets very good reviews.   I’ve not shot one but I’ve handled them and fit and finish looked good.   Also know someone that owns one and he likes it.  
 

Never shot or handled the Renegauge but it’s heavy at just shy of 8 pounds.  
 

I’d look at the Franchi Infinity,  Retay Masai Mara or for a bit more money the Benelli M2.   I’ve shot, own or owned each of these and they are all really nice and a lot lighter than the Savage.   

I’d also take a look at the Tristar Viper if you want to spend less.

That’s not true Smitty, while none compare to Italian makers a few are pretty good

[MGHunter66]

It is the Viper that jams constantly
