When dicussing the Mossberg 695, in the terms you are questioning their is really only one point that must be established first. How much are planning on spending on the 695, and can youafford the difference between that cost and 325$ to buy a better gun.

That may sound strange but if you are getting a great deal, say below 200$on the 695 it might be worth it. If you are already spending anything over 200$ and could afford a little more then discussing the 695 is not worth your time.

Assuming you could afford a usedSavage, which have been selling for 325-375$, then unquestionably that would be the better way to go.

So let us know what you can afford then we can tell you more about each gun. If money is an issue, but the quality of each gun is the deciding factor,then I can help you make that decision to. However it would save some time if we knew your budget first.
