check out the marlin xl7 1inch group guarantee. retail for $320 or 330. comes with scope bases. i bought a rossi in august and was lucky to shoot an 8 inch group with it. i took it back to gander and they gave me my money back and i got the marlin ive shot it a few times and very happy with it. only thing i didnt like was there is no clip or drop plate but that is minor. has a fluted bolt. much smoother than the rem. 770 or the savage. and a pro-fire trigger(factory set at 3.5lbs i believe and is adjustable) similar to the savage accu-trigger. heres a link to one of the reviews i read about the marlin...
