I bought the savage brand new for $350 With the added $200 it totals $550. lol basic math skills lucky for me. Money wise I'm a little a head I relize that. I guess what I need to know is how reliable are they? As statjunk stated he had jamming issues. I asked the person why they were selling the rifle. Hewanted a bolt to save on ammo. Also I was offerd to shoot it but I'm a little busy and I don't have much time at the moment. I will shoot it b4 I make my decision. Thanks for the imput guys more will always be highly appreicated
