all I have to say is its WAY to LATE in the year to contemplate a new rifle for this years season... thats done in my household during the current season and gives one a year bascially to work the kinks out and get it right. After all finding this or that and playing with it can take some time.
OTOH I did scope a gun once and grab a load and shoot it, middle of season and have never changed the load or zero since then, but that was a fluke.
