I really blew it, not buying an older Rem 700 in 30-06 a couple months ago. Savage does not seem to be the bargain any more, unless you go for the Stevens or Axis/Edge models. The standard Savage bolt gun probably goes for as much as the Rem 700 SPS. I have a Savage slug gun as well as an old 99 in .300 Savage. Really, I am a little disappointed that Savage never carried through on the plan to bring back the 99, even though that was probably just a pipe dream. I just like the design of the 700 over the Savage and know that 700s are good rifles.
