In california guns are EXPENSIVE, even budget guns. The 770 would cost over 395.00 out the door! The cheapest I could manage to get the 11fcxp3 for is 490.00 out the door with a cheap scope. I can get a marlin 30-30 for ten bucks cheaper, and I think it's beautiful. But after 200 yards the 30-30 becomes a pea shooter compared to the .308. I don't think the dear will notice he's been shot with an ugly rifle. He may notice extra punch of the .308 though. I can also hunt bear with the .308 and anything else that walks or trots on North American soil. Anyone know if the NcStar Shooter II will fit on the savage I'm getting? 10x-40x sounds great on a .308 that can shoot to over 500 yards. (I have a bad shooting eye, that scope would be a wet dream)
