I've been debating getting a Savage and after doing more research I believe I may do so soon with a current model. I've been toying around with the idea of that or going with a Tikka t3x forest. I know quite a few people who've built some very nice precision shooters off of savage platforms. I'm looking to get a hunting rifle that I can also use for a little distance shooting.

I also have the opportunity of picking up what seems to be a first generation 110. Serial number is 31xxx. The wooden stock is beautiful and current owner states that it shoots perfectly fine. It's a 30-06 and comes with a Leupold LPS 1.5-6 x 42. He's asking $550 for it. Should I pull the trigger on it?
