Ed Brown Rifles- Savanna

I am purchasing an ED BRown Savanna in .308. It is glass bedded in marine tex from ed brown in a mcmillan stock with aluminum pillars. It has his 702 action with a 24" S/S Krieger barrel #4 contour with 1-12 twist. It comes with Talley mounts. It also has a Jewell trigger.
What do you think of this rifle? what would you pay for one with 50 rounds thru it and in 99.9% condition?

That's seems to be a fine rifle. I have no experience with them but they really look great.

I'd say the price isn't important too much as they are a custom and if it works for you it's all that matters.

Personally I'd rather have a rifle from Winchester's custom shop for that new price.

Used is anyone's guess....$1,200 would be a deal I think

I couldn't comment on prices but you won't do any better as far as a custom action goes. Well thought out with good features and excellent quality in both materials and assembly.

Jim Borden makes his own custom action with patented "Borden Bumps."

Having witnessed an Ed Brown rifle in action at the range, it is a very nice rifle, the one I saw was putting Speer spitzer boat tails into one hole at 100 yards ---I think it was a 30.06.

I thought those rifles were going for about $3-4K. Plus, you get a Krieger bbl. Can't go wrong with that!
