I've really been looking into the Savage 110. Conincidentally, that's the gun I borrowed today, in .243.It had a very smooth action and the owner had nothing but wonderful things to say about it. He got it new for around $250 at a shop.
I also just found out one of my neighbors has a connection to one of the better local shops. I think I'll ask him about it too.
mcraddock - I was thinking of doing that, but I'd definately want to inspect the rifle beforehand, and Mosins are hard to find in the area.
I say go with the Savage model 110
They are great rifles.
Thats the one that I rebarreled in GunSmithing School.
A Savage model 110, it went from a 243 to a 308.
I like the Savage rifle.
