Heck if we are talking Savage/stevens then I would say 400 bucks is pretty real with a Nikon Pro staff scope.
The Stevens Mdl 200 30-06 (269.99)
Nikon Pro-staff 3-9x40 (99.99-130.99 depending on where you look)
That adds up to$400.98 (with out rings or bases)
This gun will do what ever you ask of it in the woods.
