Savage makes awesome rifles regardless of the price. The synthetic stocks are not the greatest by any stretch, but otherwise top notch. CHEAP is only really true for them in regards to the cost of shells you will have sighting in compared to other brands.

RE: Cheap Savage
If you want a cheap tack driver, Savage is your gun. Savage has been known for yrs for being one the most accurate bolt action rifles made. If you want a pretty gun, your afraid to bang around or drop. You better look else where. I own 2 Savage rifles, and wouldn't trade them for any other brand. You can't beat the accuracy of their bolts.

Savages are great rifles and at $339 with sscope, I don't know how you can go wrong. While this isn't their best gun, it will shoot as well as almost anything you can buy. Heck a better scope might cut groups a lot and reduce hassle.

Savage are excellent; I've had two. Stevens is same, but diff stock and NO ACCUTRIGGER. I'd pass on 7mm mag, nothing that a 30-06 can't do cheaper & with less noise/recoil.

Great gun, not so great scope/mounting system. I have the exact gun you are looking at and about 3 boxes of shells into it I noticed from the recoil of the 7mm it actually bent the screws that mount the rings to the bases. After $50 in Leupold mounting hardware and a $125 Simmons Aetec my gun is absolutley incredible. I would look to see if you can get one without the scope and save a few dollars.
