Hey guys, Ive been looking at getting a heavy barreled savage 22 for a few weeks now. Ive shopped around and Ive got it down to 2 models. Id like the solid weight and feel of the wooden or laminate stocks of the bv and btv. I have handled a BTVS in person and I found it very comfortable. I also got a chance to mess with the FT. It was ok but the BTVS balanced better and weighed more. The BTVS just felt like a centerfire rifle the FT felt toyish.
I havent seen a BV in person and I can rule it out but I would prefer a thumbhole stock.
The other thing it finding one at a decent price. Ive only seen 2 BTVs, both in dicks, one was 350 the other was 420ish. The 350$ one was in 17hmr and the 420$ one was in 22lr. Im sorry but im not paying 450$ for a savage. If im gonna spend that kind of money Ill save and get a CZ or even something better.
I looked at buds and they have a good price. 354$ for the blued model. Ive never done an FFL transfer and I have heard sketchy things about budsgunshop. Ive got quotes from several local shops all around 400 dollars, but after tax thats 430$.
So should I try buds? I cant find any used.
Thanks
