Just to piggy-back on what some of the other guys are saying about the price of a 700. Last year after Thanksgiving I bought a 700 ADL in .308 for just under $500. They even had a $50 mail in rebate through Remington, I bought it at Dicks Sporting Goods. Not sure if your wanting it soon or not, but Dicks and Sportmans Warehouse have some nice sales after the holidays.
