not sure where you are located but acme sports in seymour had a couple used savage .223 bolt action rifles with scopes for right around $300 when i was in there on saturday
Where in Seymour would Acme be located? Need a good place to hide out next time we are there.
As far as the frequency of shooting, I'm really not sure. We recently acquired a piece of property up in Michigan, so anytime we go up there, I will be shooting. I would like to get into some range shooting down here in Indy as well. So for the purpose of this thread, id say once a month give or take.
As far as cost, I don't feel the ~$.30 a round on the .223 is too bad. I would like to stick in that range or less if possible. If I'm way out of line, please school me.
As far as reloading goes, I would like to get into it down the road, just not right off the bat.
And 2cool, I have really been looking at the savage rifles. Seems to be some pretty good things said about them. If it matters, I do prefer the wood stock over the synthetic, but I'm not real sure if that should be a big deciding factor. Is the accutrigger a great upgrade to have over a standard trigger?
That's what I want to hear. I took my son up to gander mountain and we were looking at their rifles and some of the actions felt like total crap. I was assuming that it is because they he been out and handled by who knows how many people and not oiled or anything. I am definitely leaning heavily towards the savage .233 now. Now its just a matter of figuring out which model. The edge comes highly recommended but has no accutrigger. I would say its about time to pound the pavement and go feel some of the rifles and find the best fit for me.
Thanks again for all the help. Keep any suggestions coming as I am always all ears.
