So I found another possible rifle that I wanted your thoughts on. It's a 10PC in 308 with a Choate stock. I haven't felt the stock but believe it is the style I want, so might have saved me an upgrade for later. He is not sure on the shot count through the barrel, so I'm gonna assume a lot. The price is $500 on this rifle. Seems like a decent deal to me but I'm new to the used Savage world so I wanted your opinions on the price and on the rifle if you have experience with it. From the posts I seen in here in a search it looks like a well accepted weapon.

Will be for learning to shoot long range. Odds are I'll upgrade the barrel anyway, and possibly look into making it a 6.5CM. So I'm not to worried about the shot count as it'll get me on the range until I can afford the barrel upgrade.
