Thanks for the input Skeeter.

As for the rifles, now it's between the savage and the new Rem. 700 XCR. Apparently they don't make the bdl ss anymore because it's not on their site. Anyways, I like the XCR much more. The main difference is price. The Sav. is $661 while the Rem. is $893. The muzzle break on the Sav. is adjustable so I figure I could use it at the range and not in the field. I would like to save the money and get the Sav. and be able to get a nicer scope, but if the Sav. won't hold it's own, and be dependable for years, I don't want to mess with it.

As for the GPS, the new Explorist series is top notch, do some research on it. We use a handheld Garmin on the boat as a backup for a backup for a backup (it's mainly just a toy) and I haven't been happy with it in the slightest. The new Explorist 600 has SD card expandable memory, USB computer hook-up, rechargeable battery, compass, barometer, altimeter, and with the expandable memory you can load as many points of interest as possible (the 1 gig card can load about 90% of the US).
