So after some consideration, the Savage will be placed into the collection as the scopeless version that she was and the BSA will wear the scope that came with the Savage.

If anyone is interested...

She's good, just a bit of a minimalist when it comes to stuff around the house. And I knew that going in. We all make compromises. But, we'll see.
