RE: SCOPES
The Nikon Monarchs are hard to beat from SWFA at that price. They were good scopes when they were being sold for $299 but they are a steal at $218. Something else to look at when changing scopes is to upgrade your bases and rings on the Savagepackage deal. I had a model 16FXP3 package and the scope bases and rings were aluminum. I changed over to solid steel Leupold bases and rings.
