I would not make this statement lightly, I can surely understand hesitation on this suggestion, IT IS MOST LIKELY A BAD SCOPE! I am not being crass. I stopped selling Simmons many years ago, I did not want my name associated with. I have had much experience with the Savage/Simmons Package, a local business sold many in our area, and MOST scopes would not hold true. Add in that you are shooting a 3006 I say waste no more ammunition. Sorry to say also that the mounts I saw with that package would be on my list of upgrades. More bad news, in my experience Tropy Bonded will not shoot well in all guns.

Good news, the Savage Rifle is a super value and as a rule very accurate. I suggest you buy leupold bases and rings, and buy something like a Nikon Buckmaster for $200. If you really can't afford a $200 scope try BSA or the lower line of Leupold or Nikon. There are hundreds of combinations you can buy, I just mention products I have had good success with on a budget.

Good luck!
