High on my list is the Ruger std. weight, walnut sporter and maybe if I can find the right deal an Anschutz 1517. I know the Savages and CZ are shooters, but handling them.......fit and finish is quite rough and a bit below where I want. I had a NEF .17hmr and really enjoyed the caliber but traded that and now need a new one. What's your pick in the $400-700 range?
