Basically, in Savage, you have 2 actions, long and short. Of these 2 type actions, you have the standard blind magazine repeaters, removeable magazines, and single shots.

Most have the standard Savage trigger, which is not very good out of the box, but can be adjusted easily by any competent gunsmith, to a good trigger. Certain tactical and long range models have the Sharp Shooter trigger starting in 2002. Safeties are the same on every model.

For 99% of most hunting situations, the standard blind magazine will be all in the world you will need. If you were looking for a serious long range varmint rig, the maybe one of the single shot models. I would replace the scope on the package gun with a higher quality scope, something like a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40, that would not bust the bank.
