Sure, you can have better fit and finish, but it costs more. I have been eyeing the ruger go wild.I like the heavier barrel profile. Im sure the leupold would be better, but for a 700 dollar difference, Ill see how I like the Burris. I have fond memories of my Weatherby, but the last few years its spent more time in my gun safe while I pack smaller calibers. That said, the polymer quality and stiffness are better than many. The deciding factor for me was the trigger, and that 3 of my buddies shoot the Savage. Mine is in 223 for chucks. Any help deciding? Is yours that picky?

Will be used for 100-500 yd plinking and occasional deer hunting. I still think the 2020 Waypoint is just a better gun overall. Just hasnt been available. Keep up the great work.
