Now, for near the same $$$ as the Savage, you may want to check out the new Remington 700 SPS series. They make one with syn. stock, and stainless. Here's a link to the Remington web page - check it out;

IMO this would be the better rifle,
I agree with just about everything on here, except this comment, not bashing you virginia, but obviously making a comment like that shows that you do not own a Savage. Even die hard Remington friends of mine, laugh and say, "My Remingtons prettier, and feels nicer, but those Savages sure will out shoot it". Dollar for Dollar you cannot beat a Savage!!!
