Well the good news is whatever rifle I decide to choose I will be able to get it at cost from where my dad works. Tomorrow I will behunting withmy buddies Savage Model 111 .270, and I will see how I like it. I am also going to look at a couple of pawn shops around and see whats in store. Yes, I have checked out the Model 700 SPS, the only down fall is it has no scope, but with the price at cost I will see what I can do. I am going to get my dad to check the cost tomorrow at work, and I will let you guys know what the price is that I can get it for.
