A friend of mine was telling me about a Savage rifle he saw on sale at Dicks Sporting Goods (not my favorite store) so I had to go check it out, sure enough it was a Savage Model 11 VT, a Dicks exclusive I found out, Its a 24",heavy barreled
.308 ( you could get it in .223 also) according to Savage its a 1-10 twist, it comes with the DBM bottom, but the bottom "metal" and mag are plastic. It has the trigger guard mounted bolt release. It came with a Bushnell 4-12 adjustable objective scope ( I am going to use the scope on a Savage Model 10 .243 gun show project I picked up)
So I bought the rifle, out the door tax and all it was $ 492.73, you got another 10% off, if you would buy it using their charge card.
So as soon as I got home I fired up the PC, got out the bank card and went to work. Got a Bell-Carlson stock form Stocky's Stocks.
