Doc,

Practically every new Savage looks accurate enough to shoot the testicles off a mosquito these days. How on earth they keep them as cheap as they do is beyond me. Maybe a Leupold VX 1 from these guys would be a good idea? Definitely cheaper than a new Accutrigger Savage if that is a criterion . . .

Good hunting and congratulations on bringing the young man into our great sport. He might be initially reluctant but once he begins to enjoy it, you'll have a full blown afficianado.

Good hunting to both of you!
