Wow, guys. Thanks for the info. Some good stuff there. Looks like I still have some homework to do. I have a buddy that raves about the Savage that shoots smokeless. In the end, it looks like I'm going to have to go shoulder some guns and make my decision based on that. I also might hold off and check out the new 2007 line that I keep hearing about from T/C. I'll keep you posted and I'm sure I'll have a million and onmore questions once I finally make the purchase. Thanks again!
