I was at the local gunshop this afternoon, and while they didn't have the Savage I was looking for, they did have one in .204 Ruger. They also had a Ruger 77MKII in .22-250 there. I looked at the Savage with the synthetic stock and then looked at the Ruger, one of which I already own. The action on the Savage felt weird and the stock was a piece of crap. The balance was terrible too. I just didn't like the Savage at all, but that is just because of the way it felt. It might be the best shooter on the world, but I know I can get the Rugers to shoot pretty well with the mods and the handloads, so I think that will be the way I am going.
