I think if had it to do over again over. I would of bought the model 11 and added my own scope and rings. The model 11 is diffrent from the model 10 your speaking of. Check it out also.The Remington 700 is a great rifle also but, your looking at lot more money.I like my Savage,they are a good built rifle,nice trigger also.Good luck.Keep us posted on what u get.That model 10 Savage is a nice rifle, it will give you lots of years of service.
