Thanks! i have decided on the hyper 7...

Now that i just blew 100 on the savage, and need to blow $40 more, it might have to wait a while. Parents are a little fed up with the hobby to say the least. thanks all for the input.

Hyper 7 is a fine choice. I did one (PBS version) as my first conversion and still having a blast with it.

As everyone have said, it feels a bit heavy but is very durable - I haven't broken any part on mine yet.
