Thanks guys. Lots of information. Personally I'm a Chevy/Olds guy. After 40 years at GM.
The thing is I have my dad's old 740 Woods master in the safe. Not wanting to use it out in the field.
I think dad bought that in 1955. That was his go-to deer rifle. He dropped a lot of them. Some even on the run at 300 yards.

You wont get the 'best' in your price range....but you wont go wrong with a Tikka. I have two of them, ( T3s) and they will shoot better than I can. x2

Tikka I won’t buy a cheaper rifle again. My 30-06 literally puts the through the same home at 100 yards

If the Savage is still made like it used to be, I don't see how you can go wrong. I've had one for about 40 years and it's as reliable as ever.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Seeing that you are from Michigan, guessing most of your hunting is woods. Find you a good 760/7600, add some good glass to it. You will be MOA of buck for a long way. Take time to make or find a load it likes and you will be surprised how well most will shoot.

Deadliest most accurate rifle I ever owned. Savage 110 30-06. Puts all the bullets in the same hole at 100 yds.Even with the cheap tasco scope. Also,best hair trigger on any rifle I have ever fired.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
