Okay, I really liked the T3 from the reviews and I might go try them out again. One question on the Remington 700. Academy has the 700 SPS in black on black for $428.00. Walmart has the 700 SPS in Black on SS for $504.13. I get confused on all the different models on the 700 and am not really sure which one I tried out at the hunting store the other day. It seems like thereare about a dozen different models out there. Is the stainless the right choice for it's ability to hold up the best? I'm probably going to go by Academy and try out the 700 SPS next. I was really unimpressed with the hunting store I went to the other night. They were having some event and the only person who helped me was a guy who actually worked for Berreta and he was pretty good at trying to sell me on the T3 although he did hand me a Remington 700 to try out and it did feel a little better. They are all too short though.
