If <$100, I'd consider it for a loaner/beater

Not worth buying. Stevens 200 is far better. The 710 scope is worth about $29.99. BMT

It's a plastic pos with more recalls on it than a old Pinto.

It works fine, but I'd get the Marlin if you're looking for a cheap gun.

It's a Remington with a Bushnell scope, how could you go wrong?
Seriously, why? Buy a higher quality used rifle or the Stevens 200.

Fit and finish are what's wrong with rifle, forgive the Tasco/Bushnell error (it was kinda directed to get a rise outta someone). And it's already been phased out by the 770.
Curious why you'd be interested in it?
For my $300-$350 new, go Howa/Vanguard, or Stevens 200, which is essentially the same as the Savage.
Used, you ought to be able to find a 700 or good sporterized Mauser. For an even better value than a Mauser, Enfield 1917s are great too. But a little heavy and not exactly a good looking.
