You might take a look at the model 16 Weather Warrior in the Savage. All stainless, weighs .5 lb. more and with the Accu-Trigger easily adjustable buy you from 1.5 lb. to 6 lb. I have the model 10FP without the Accu-Trigger but I adjusted it to 3.25 lbs. which I like just fine. A great shooting rifle for the money and think of how great a scope you could get with the money you saved over the other choices.
