Thanks for the replies, I'll have to check into more about these Savage's.The S/S w/ Laminated stock does sound nice.I might even take a bigger plung and go with a Remington 700, Model 7 or another Ruger 77 MKII.Rem 222 like I said I saw so many rifles yesterday when I went to Bass Pro I couldn't keep the model numbers straight. Thanks for your help. Ruger Redhawk
