Hello all,

i have been interested in a 7mm-08 rifle and investigating some rifles for a while now. I was planning on buying new but last night I encounter a listing for a 300 dollar Savage 11 in that caliber that the shop lists as "Good (70-80%) Condition"

No photos so I don't even know what kind of stock it has. It has a 22" barrel.

This price means it's a rifle I can buy for this deer season instead of waiting another year.

What should I look for? Plastic vs metal magazine, receiver quality (barrel can be upgraded next season if need be right?), is the stock on these replaceable in time so damage there is also not relevant?

i have no bolt action centerfire experience so I don't know what configurations the 11 has been in or what it means to be center feed stagger feed etc. What I know at this point is Savage is a good name and the rifle caliber I want is on the shelf at what might be a good price.

thanks for any help!
