Default RE: Need input on this combo...

Thanks for the input guys. I have found the legend scope for as little as $170 but no one seems to have the Savage 116 FSAK in 300UM. PLEASE, PLEASE help me find this gun. Some extra money is burning a hole in my pocket and I just want to get it and be done with it. Also, my wife doesn' t know about the money yet so I need to spend it or she will. The local Gander Mountain is listed as a dealer but when I asked about ordering one they acted like Savage guns are the devil. My dad really wants me to buy the Browning (he has Browning everything) but I don' t think it is worth $300 more and the muzzle brake isn' t adjustable. I was considering the 300WM but my 30-06 with the high energy loads has very similar ballistics to the 300WM. I don' t plan on hunting dangerous game but I realize 5x is a little narrow. A 3-12x would have a fov of about 36 ft @ 3x versus 26 ft with the 5x. Ideally, I would like to find a quality 4-16x but that doesn' t seem to exist. Help me find my gun, please.
