Well I pulled the trigger on a new Savage Mark II FV today. It should be here Wednesday. I paid 189.00 total, plus a brick of Wolf MT for 43.50. I hope this was a good deal. My friend has his dealers license and he ordered it for me. Where does everybody get their scope base. I would really prefer a one piece unit. Optics will have to come when I get additional funds. I have a Burris Fullfield II 3x9 I'll probably stick on there until I get what I want. Any suggestions on a base?
