Well I guess I'll add an update. I have been lurking since my first post. I know it's been awhile. I ended up purchasing a Savage 10/110 trophy hunter xp with the 3-9 nikon. I stopped before I bought the gun and picked up a Vortex Crossfire II from Primary arms. Those guys are awesome to deal with.

Now I'm looking for ideas as far as future upgrades. What is out there for this model. Also when searching is it a 10 or a 110 or will either one work?

Thanks
