Local gunshop hasn't heard of the X7 series? BTW, new Savages--I think he means the Savage Axis, as he's getting over the 770--do not have the AccuTrigger. From the examples I've handled, the Edge/Axis has got to be the cheapest quality gun I've ever seen--and that includes the 770.

Howa Machinery, Ltd. Of Japan, is performing a safety upgrade on all Model 1500, 1550 and 1700LS series rifles manufactured between 1970 and 1993. The affected rifles bear serial numbers from one of the following series on the receiver: PN00010 through PN87159, LS00001 through LS05150,.

The best buy for your money would be 1) Marlin X7 if you're planning on spending about $300; 2) Howa 1500 if you're planning on spending $400; and 3) Tikka T3 if you're planning on spending $500. Savages are a seriously obselete design (assuming you mean the 110 series), are overpriced for the features they offer (well, so are Tikkas), and are just plain ugly--I mean every Savage in productino today.

My 10 y/o daughter picked which rifles she liked and she wanted camp/stainless. We looked at various models, and it was the Gander Mtn exclusive camo/stainless Savage for the win.

She loves it..270 too. Personally I'm pleased with the quality when comparingt to same price. $300 OTD NIB is a good investmant to get another youth in the field. If getting her something that appeals to her helps, worth every penny. Ugly is a personal subjective opinion. My 10 y/o daughter picked which rifles she liked and she wanted camp/stainless.
