[QUOTE="bblaine2k, post: 53889, member: 1440"] What a decision to make! Sorry for your dilemma. If it were me, if I already owned a rifle that would work (even if not perfectly suited for the upcoming hunt) I'd probably take that before buying another rifle (the Browning) as insurance for the one you already backordered (the Savage). If you absolutely don't have a gun to take on the upcoming hunt then you definitely need one from the guide, a hunting buddy or someone. I'd borrow one before I'd buy what amounts to essentially two rifles for the same purpose. The reason being, like Daveosk mentioned, is that you can really custom work that savage with the money you'd spend on the browning. If you really want the insurance of having your own gun (the browning) you probably could sell/trade it off when you're done and still come out o.k. since you'd be getting a $250 cut below any other dealer. I know its lots to think about but any way you go you can't go wrong. Who can blame you for wanting the added insurance of having a gun in-hand while you are waiting on the backorder? Likewise, who can blame you for wanting to save a few bucks and borrow a rifle or use another, less perfect, rifle out of your collection for the upcoming hunt rather than buying another! You've got time! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
