You could also try to find a Benelli R1. The ones I've handled all offer very good ergonomics. They are as ugly as the south side of a northbound horse, though... unless Euro-Trash styling is your thing. Try the BAR Short Trac. The aluminum alloy receiver makes it somewhat lighter than the all steel Safari grade, and it's only mildly Euro-trashed in its style.

But if you like the Savage Model 10 so much, why not just stick with the bolt action. I've never felt like I couldn't get off a fast enough follow-up with mine, but maybe that has a lot to do with the fact that I mostly hunt with a muzzleloader... and that I never shoot at running deer.
