Well, I am still looking for an inexpensive, knock about 223 bolt gun. One that will be taken out on the ATV and will most likely get treated like the ATV! It will see dirt, rain and other bad weather. Main use is a medium range varmint rifle (coyotes, etc). Will probably launch cheapo factory soft points or hollow points from Wal Mart.
I noticed that Bud's has this Savage for cheap:

It even comes with a Nikon scope that looks better than the cheapo Tasco or Bushnells that come on most of these "budget package" rifles.
Anyone own one of these lower end Savage rifles?
Are rifles like this a good option or should I save my pennies for a M700 Remmy or M70 Winny?
Thanks in advance for the opinions.

(remember...this is not to be used in matches or on some dream hunt...a beater is what I am after...something that has more "reach" than the 1976 open sighted Mini-14 and is under 500 bucks.)
