Thanks to all who have replied. Savage has a $75 rebate on their 11/111 Trophy Hunter XP, Nikon Scope, Accutrigger. Got it at Dick's for $549 and with points and rebates, I'm out the door for under $450. Plus I got another $30 in points for ammo. I'll let you know how it does at the range and hopefully my son will be standing over a bull in October

I went to Gander Mtn last night and they didn't seem too interested in a guy trying to keep his spend under $500. I wonder what their average sale is. Bet it's not $500. They were $30 more than Dicks anyway.
