The Savage Model 10 Package deal they sell at Walmart for $387 with the Accu trigger is the best imo. The only thing I'd do is ditch the Simmons scope when you can afford a better scope. Other than that it's a great rifle and you can expect sub moa groups from it. Another option is the Marlin XL-7 or XS-7 depending on the long or short action. Those run around $300 and are also great options.

While I don't think the Edge rifle is a bad choice, it's certainly not anywhere near being in the same class as the model 10 and from what I've seen it's not even all that much cheaper. To me the accu trigger alone is worth the extra on the Model 10. However, there are several other benefits to them too. The Edge rifles seem to be getting decent reviews, but they seem to be more something to compete with the Remington 770, not the 700 like the Model 10 competes with.

That being said the older 700's were great rifles, however, I think I'd still prefer to have the Model 10.
