[QUOTE="trebark, post: 292594, member: 19172"] 1. Rifle - are you completely decided on Savage? have you considered Remington? Just curious. Savage makes a nice rifle. Are you going to use the factory barrel or have a custom barrel installed? 2. Scopes - it would be helpful to know more about the shooting/hunting you will do. If I could walk into a shop and buy whatever scope I wanted, it would be a Nightforce 5.5x22x50 [url=http://www.nightforceoptics.com/SCOPES_OVERVIEW/5_5-22x50___5_5-22x56/5_5-22x50___5_5-22x56.html]5.5-22x50 & 5.5-22x56[/url] Next in line would be a Leupold MK4 or VXIII, then take your choice between a Vortex or Bushnell. 3.
