VAhuntr,

I would have to go with skeeter 7MM and driftrider. The Savage 10MLSSII is state of the art. A beautiful rifle with lots of options. There's a post on the Savage on page two of this forum. Lots of good information with sites included. You could probably get one for around $375.00 if you go with the stainless steel barrel/black synthetic stock. I've been researching this rifle in wood laminate for the past month and have called over twenty shops. If you're willing to call around, you could probably get a much better price than the 375.00 I listed above. Then they could just ship it to you.

Also, I've read that a couple of guys here haven't had much luck with the factory scope (tasco trohpy, I think), but my buddy never touched his and shoots 2 inch groups @ 100yds right out of the box.

Good luck on finding a new ML,

Bn'R
