O.K., momma told me that I'm getting a new rifle for my B-Day but I've got a $350 cap due to current financial considerations.
I've looked all over town and have it narrowed down to either a used (looks new) Win. Mod. 70 Super Shadow with a Simmons (yuck) scope for $329.95, or a new Mossberg ATR-100 with a Mossberg-marked scope which looks like a Bushnell Banner (yuck again) for $299.00. I've looked at the Stevens 200, Savage w\Accutrigger, several used guns and these are the only two that fit my parameters. BTW they're both in .270 Win. I'm leaning to the Win., but I've never bought a brand-new gun, so that's a plus for the Mossy.
Decisions, decisions....
