RE: SCOPES
Well that's one of the savage packages so it's already got a scope mounted and boresighted. If you're to buy another scope for the gun, why buy the package?
Anyways, I think a 4-16X-50 is just a we bit overkill for most hunting scenarios. You're gonna have a huge objective lens so it's gonna sit up high first of all. not always a comfortable positioning. Secomnd, the 16x is also a bit more than I'd think one would need for a typical deer rfle. Bigger isn't neccessarily better.
I'd opt for a decent Burris ifI wanted a really good scope or for a regualr ol' hunting rifle maybe one of the higher grade Simmons scopes. Either way I'd go with a 3-9x40 at the most.
Of course I'd opt for a deer rifle and a varmint rilfe being two completely seperate rifles all together and set up each accordingly.
