Where and what will you use it for will help us out a lot and you should get a lot of recomondations. I think for your price range you won't find a better gun. If you are willing to spend just a couple more dollars I would say the Tikka T3 otherwise I think you will be happy with the Savage. For a general purpose caliber that will do a lot of things good. The 30-06, .270, .308, .280.,7mm-08, 7mm mag would be where I would start.
