Thanks to all who answered the post about the Remington 700. I've changed my mind now and I want a .30-06 instead of a .308. I was at the store looking at the Rem. 700 SPS and also saw a Savage (not sure what model). Both had synthetic stocks, but the Savage was about $25.00 cheaper and came with a scope. The scope was a cheapo that I would probably replace, but the guns looked to be pretty similar. What are your opinions of Savage? Would it be worth the extra few bucks to get the Remington?
