I couldn't bring myself to spend 2 Grand on a gun when there are soooo many great guns out there for less than half that price. I mean, Savage and NEF are both great guns and, if the shooter does their part will produce amazing accuracy. You can pick up a BRAND NEW Savage for less that $500.00 and a new NEF for around $200. The Big Three (Winchester, Remington, And Ruger) all offer excellent guns at well under a grand. Pocket the difference so you can buy other toys.
Just my .02 Happy Hunting and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
