Price -- Cheap2.) Aftermarket support -- There are a lot of solid aftermarket options for the Savages--triggers, barrels, stocks, etc. You can't say the same for every other modern bolt rifle.My $.02: I know you want a budget .22lr to build and customize, this is what I did with a Ruger 10/22. I dropped ~$1k in it and it looks cool (heavy though), shoots decent (not as well as I'd expect from a rig with a Kidd barrel and trigger though), and is fun to plink with. I bought a CZ 455 Varmint in .22lr for a dear friend of mine as a gift about a year ago. After shooting that thing, I won't settle for anything cheaper when I buy a bolt rimfire. You can buy a cheapish .22 and have a blast, but those CZs are beautiful guns to look at, handle, and shoot. Totally different direction than where you want to go, but thought I'd include it <img src="/images/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
