I'm preparing to buy my first Savage rifle and started a thread a couple of days ago with a couple of questions about the Scout Rifle. I've pretty much decided though that I'm going with a 10 FCP-SR for reasons which aren't pertinent to this thread. I'm really confused about something though. Most everyone seems to agree that the older model with the AI mags was superior to the newer model. Well, yesterday I was in a local store and they had one priced at $749 which I thought was ridiculous compared to the prices I've been seeing at the online retailers. This morning I was reading more about the rifle and found out that the new model is only available with the black stock. That got me wondering as the one I saw in the store had a Kryptek camo stock. I don't specifically remember the mag except I don't recall that it had that rubber or plastic "cap" on the lower half that the Savage mag has. It also had the stickers indicating it had an Accustock and Accutrigger which I didn't think the old model had. Anyway, I'm pretty confused as to whether this was the older more desirable model which might explain the higher price or whether it might have been a special new model which Savage only sold through this retailer. I don't remember any other details of it that might indicate whether it was old or new.
Based on the vague description that I provided, can anybody shed some light on this forvme. If it is indeed an older model, is $749 a good price and should I snap it up if I'm sure that's the rifle that I want?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
