the thought of getting the lever thrown at the most inopportune moment has deterred all thought of this mod.

My son had one of these on his low to the ground Miata and it hung down vertically. No problems until he raked it off on a parking lot speed bump. Luckily, he figured out what happened and didn't drive off. I think if your pan plug is horizontal or tucked up out of the way, it wouldn't be a problem.

I had one on my 1996 Ford Ranger. Worked great and I loved it. Never had any issue. The lever is kept in check by a goodly powerful spring. Its not turning by accident. I sold the Ranger and never saw the device offered for sale again.

Now the Savage had the oil drain right at the bottom ... so it might would worry me a good bit more than the one on a truck.

The savage plug is tucked up between the case and frame.
So you'd have a hard time shearing the fitting off.
You might have a hard getting it in though, depends on thread length.

And I'd want to align the lever so it wasn't hanging down, yet accessable to operation.

What is the bolt and thread size on a 05? Not the bolt head size.
