[QUOTE="deli_llama, post: 2135582, member: 25974"] Why not a Savage 10, then build it the way you like. What really makes it tactical? A goofy shaped plastic stock? An o-ring bolt handle? Some giant overpriced Optic? A 2 point sling? Obviously I am being a little facetious, but I think you would be better off buying a better starting gun, then building it up. To me, tactical means useful/functional, so I couldn't care less how many bumps, swells, or holes my stock has, as long as I can consistently hit my target at range. Like said above, a barrel will give the most performance, it seems, and the optics you like. The rest is preference, and I agree some of that is look, but should be mostly ergonomics, which only you can decide. For my money, and for out-of-the-box performance, I would choose a savage 10. I bought the Savage 10 fxp from walmart. It was the best deal I could find. A lot of people choose the Savage Hog Hunter as a build base, which would be good for you. It has a 20" Threaded Bull Barrel that makes the tactical thing acquirable. Add your optics, and a stock, and you are good to go. It also comes stock with the oversized ball bolt handle. [/QUOTE]
