I picked up the Savage 10/110 package deal with nikon BDC 3-9x 40 scope in .308. It has the wood stock and accu trigger and I couldn't be happier. It is accurate out of the box (well accurate enough for me with my limited ability), it won't break the bank, and has been reliable so far.

I have a Remmy 700 CDL in .243 and shoot 95 Grain Winchester Silver tips out of her (Wife and my stepsons primary gun). Have her topped with a Leupold VX-II 3-9x40 scope. Last hunt I used her on was in 2008 in Kentucky, and fired 5 round killing a fork horn buck and two does at around 70 yards. All three deer fell within 20 yards of being shot. A .243 can do the job.

Why is a man of your stature shooting 5 times and only killing three deer?????

I'm doing an hour drive to the closest wally world (with full gun sales) to pickup black power and maybe a 10/22 if they have any i want..
i'll eye up the bolt action rifles and let you know if any good value packages are there.
keep looking around at used stuff also, i did just see .308 weatherby on FGT for around 500 no scope though.
and this marlin , but price is to high.. the were only like 300 new... http://floridaguntrader.com/index.php?a=2&b=225203

What walmarts sell blackpowder!? That would be pretty badass especially if it's near me.
