Herman I bought a savage 110 in 223 about 4 years ago. It was a package deal 3x9 simmmons w/ caps, sling, and trigger lock for $350. It' s a great shooter in fact on a bench I can hit a clay pigon thats laying down dome up at a 125 yrds. I' m very pleased w/ the rifle I have. The standard trigger is a little stiff but not that stiff, and the action no complaints. Just another Belly Button Good luck to ya.
