Don't own a Savage myself, but saw one at the range last summer. The guy had a 4x scope mounted (unknown brand). The rifle didn't look like much, but it sure shot darn good. You could cover his groups at 50yds. with a dime! I think he said he paid about
$150 (+/-) for it, incl. the scope.
I looked into getting one of these rifles myself, but found out that Savage has all their
22's made in Canada.[:@] A phone call to Savage confirmed it.

My 22mag. is the Ruger 77/22 with target grey stainless barrel, and laminated stk.
Scope is the Leupold compact 3-9x. A very accurate rifle.
