Since you're there already, when you buy the Savage be sure to pick up a jug of the strongest copper solvent the store has.

Savage has a well earned reputation of rough barrels, particularly cro-mo ones.

What do you guys think of the Savage opposed to the Rem. I need to act fast, I'm not sure how long it'll be on sale.
I own 2 Savages, they might not be pretty but they are the most consistently accurate rifles out of the box that I have owned. They are not picky at all with load development to the point of being boring. I've not seen excessive copper fouling.

Can't comment on the new Savages, or the optics on the combo, but my 2 used sporter Savage 110s have been consistent performers, both with factory ammo and reloads.
They may not produce the proverbial cloverleaf internet groups, but it may be more my load development and technique than the guns.
With the 7mmRM I have killed the 7 big game animals I have shot at, all 1 shot kills. It does shoot better with a fouled barrel, and does not throw cold bore flyers, can't complain about it for a hunting gun.

After much debate, pulled the trigger on a SS 1-4, 3-9, SSALT mount, some Talleys and a Timney 510.

Another thanks,
There is a 10X MQ and a set of Ruger rings in my imediate future.
I had searched the site and had not come up with sale prices. It is easy to fix the Ruger bases to use the SWFA supplied rings. With a small square file to the rear only of the Ruger bases and a few minutes of work, pic type rings will work wonderfully. The Ruger bases are soft aluminum and very easy to work. Here is fitting the SWFA rings supplied with the SS 6x package deal. Go slow, check often, and only remove metal from the rear surface, NONE from the forward surface. Gently blow off the particles while working. When all done, a shot of Gun Scrubber is good for the final cleaning. Thanks for the help and the time you took to post. But I need 30 mm ring/mounts to fit a Ruger SA mk II.

I'm pondering a 10x for a Ruger American 17 HMR. Any thoughts about if the HD is worth it? Also, what ring height should I get? Will low work? Thanks in advance.

The HD is a completely different scope design, not just better glass. The HD doesn't focus great down below 50 yrds so it may not work for you.

Fuggit'... just ordered a fixed 6x for my daughters .223 and a 1-6 donut of death Illuminati for me to play with. Between SWFA, Cabelas, PSA, and Primary Arms this has been one hell of a Black Friday & Saturday!

Looks like a Leupold truck threw up in the classifieds.
Coincidence?

Can't be. Folks buying scopes that work. What a concept.
