Then, of course, you have to find a cheap FFL (I have a guy that will accept shipment for $20, but I realize the normal price is higher). So you should be able to get one for $350 or so.
Still a very good rifle at that price.
That puts it halfway between the Savage Axis and the Savage 11/111
For some reason the Marlin seems to be a little harder to come by.
I still stand by the Axis though as being "the cheapest .270 rifle worth buying" no shipping cost,no ffl cost, just about $280 at the local walmart.
We could certainly say "for another $50-$100" all day long though.
