The Rem. 710 is not what I would pick.
I am not sure of the differance in price but I know that the plainest Savage rifles are shooters and the packages are a good value.
The 30-06 is a great deer ,black bear cart. and will take elk with the right load.
i agree. i have a model 110 in .270, and with sling and scope it cost under $300. i bought it used, but it works. i would suggest looking for a used gun in good condtion, before you go out and get a new gun. the used guns might not look as pretty, but they work just as well. trust me
