I'm stumped by the walmart problem. I thought they had them on the moon. They seem to be everywhere. Unless you want to take a trip to Oregon or the closest walmart. It would probably cost more in gas than you would save.


I really like my savage. Of course I bought mine right before they introduced the accu-trigger. I bought a 7mm mag. I've been very happy with it. I don't think I would recommend if for someones first firearm. 7mm mag is a great cartridge, very flat shooting and can take down a large variety of game, but as posted earlier they have a kick and if it is your first gun you'll feel like you've tangled with a mule after your first day at the range. I would stick with the 30-06 or my personal preference the .308 Either one of them will serve you well. The .308 has a little less kick and I just really like it, but a lot of people enjoy the 30-06 again both are great weapons. Good luck.
