Well, if you are considering a Savage budget stainless hunting rifle, which is light to carry, functional.....and accurate then the stainless axis will set you back a relative small amount of coin so you can spend the rest of your budget on a really good scope. Go for the accutrigger model as an upgrade or plan to use a timney drop in trigger to agument the base line version. Future upgrades like wood stocks are possible through boyds. If you want a better version then the Model 10 stainless will run you within your budget + scope. My 2C.....
