First I had my mind pretty well made up. Then I went into Wholesale Sports to place an order and the guy almost talked me out of it, The Savage, that is. He did not say there was anything wrong with it, per say, but he didn't have a lot of good to say about them. He hunts with an Omega, which was my original choice due to Price.
I still can get kitted out with an Omega ( rifle, scope, cleaning supplies, ammo, etc) for the price of the base rifle in the Savage line.
I know people say that the Savage is far easier to maintain, and cheaper to operate, but the difference in price does pay for alot of the more expensive operation (powder and cleaning suplies) on the Omega
Price does matter somewhat, but not completely. I will not be firing hundreds of rounds yearly.
What do I really need? I know this seems like I am flip floping, I just do not want to make the wrong choice, and be stuck with it.
One last chance for you all to weigh in with your advice and suggestions.
I won't post this type of question again. A rifle, one way or the other, is gonna be bought next week.
