Default Savage Arms expansion in Ontario

https://globalnews.ca/news/10397325/...ributes-funds/

$3.3 million dollar expansion and the Ontario gov. is kicking in half a mill. No funds from the federal government... are we surprised?

This is great news indeed, a major manufacturer of sporting firearms on Canadian soil is expanding. D.H.

Agreed, wonder if their head gunsmith will be the same guy who lost my first rifle? Then Savage tried to deny it. They then sent several faulty replacement rifles, by the third attempt I had had enough. The third and last rifle I had to de burr the chamber myself so that I could even chamber a round? They then tried to tell me, that there was no possible way it would get past "Quality" control, even after I sent them multiple photos to prove my points.
NEVER again!
