ithis is a VERY good gun don't let guys kid you the remington 700's are still fine works of rifle. you just might have to put a trigger on it. such as the timmy trigger.
Exactly... I don't want to spend a bunch on a gun and then have to replace the trigger right away. I am lazy... Why not by the Savage with an already great trigger?
Anyway for the scope I would not suggest the VX-II, it doesn't have fully multi-coated lenses, in that price range look at the Sightron or Weaver, Also consider getting the VX-III, Well worth it... It is the scope all others should be compared to and has been for a while.
If I had to pick a gun/Scope Combo for around $750 I would go with...
Savage ($500-$550) with a Weaver Grand Slam 3x10(>$250)
If you want to spend a lot more...
Go with a Kimber 84 Classic ($900) with a Leupold VX-III ($500)
-That would be a rig most of us would envy!
