Savages satisfy a lot of people who shoot square ranges only when the sun is shining. Mating a cupcake rifle to a tank chassis raises eyebrows among those of us who know better, but we are in short supply.
Clarification?

I've broken enough Savages to know they are the weak link when strapped to an AI chassis.
What did you break, how, and how many?
Bolt head retaining pins: 2 or 3
Extractors, including assembly parts: 6ish
Ejectors, including assembly parts: 2
Can't recall the sample size but I'm a fast learner.
The how's are generally related to weather intrusion into the bolt assembly. With a taped barrel the firing/cycling mechanisms on 700s; M77s; 84s; even 70s are well proven to reliably function after exposure of the worst sort. Savages, not so. But they aren't alone.
Follow-up to OP:
Have you decided yet?
