Hey guys, new Savage owner here. Happened to see a Dick's flyer and long story short bought a Mark II GXP for $109 assuming the rebate comes thru. That's not including taxes of course. I was looking at the Marlin XT but comparing prices, the Savage was a no brainer especially since I have more guns that I can shoot as much I'd like. Yep, read the pros and cons of both, kinda like throwing a blade of grass up in the air five times and see in which direction they blow the most. For now the supplied Tasco 4x scope should do ok. Glass seems clear enough, we'll see how it shoots shortly. Feel free to share any thoughts, things to look out for, etc..

I was a bit dismayed when this one came without iron sights. Guess I'm just behind the times..
