To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

I thought there was a couple of them in the classifieds. Check with Sisu if not. He had one for sale a while back for sure.

Might look at the local gun dealers. You can find a new one for about the cost of what they sell for used! ;)

I saw one at Cabelas the other day, laminate thumbhole stock $189.00 in the pre-owned section.

I don't know, I didn't take a good look I was just skimming through and remember seeing one.

The Savage would be a great choice! I have a Marlin and really like it! Of course the Marlin dose not have a thumbhole stock. PS, I fixed my type-o.  :chuckle:

Thanks for the link phool, could not get it to open, most likely my work puter.
I called cabelas, man has customer service gone out the window nowadays, got hung up on twice while being transfered, finally got to the pre-owned (used) department, guy told me nope dont have one for that price or with a thumbhole stock and could not remember if they sold one recently? Put me over to new and well he just rattled off everything they had quickly, put me on hold to see if any had a thumbhole stock and i got disconnected again, so i gave up.
I will keep looking.

There were a few for around $300, including scope, on seattleguns.net  I haven't checked to see if they were still available but there were like 3 or 4 of them.  Marlin and Savage, blued and stainless.  Good luck!
