    I bought mine as my starter, I'm still starting myself mind you. Not selling it it the foreseeable future either. The 110 is a 308 and the weather warrior underneath is a 243. Bought another 243 in left hand for my daughter @TimeRider, then I wanted a spare mag, so I bought another whole spare 243. Think I might be a fan of the Savage rifles.

    @possummatti If you want to try shooting a remington 700 I do not mind letting you squeeze off a few rounds from my rifle seeing you are in morrinsville and I am in Te Awamutu if you want to see if it is comfortable for you to shoot and if you don't mind firing a .270 ammo is not an issue as I have a batch of reloads I want to get fired off anyway as I have changed brass brands and bullets.

    No worries mate you have made a good choice in rifle and caliber, if you ever do want to have a crack on a 270 at any time for fun and just to see what the caliber is like to shoot I am only a pm away as I enjoy getting out to the range in Taupo to punch a bit of paper or out to a friends place for a catch up and to whack a gong or two even more fun

    Better education often equals better job in this economy, which in turn equals more money which leads to more guns. So your parents are partially right,
