I had a Savage model 16 FXP3 in 270WSM. The scope was a Simmons of some type. The only reason I bought it was the combo was cheaper than the rifle alone. The first thing I did was replace the scope and while I was at it, I replaced the el-cheapo rings and bases too.

Mymain two complaints with the riflewere: I never could warm up to the accu-trigger andthe syntheticstock. That was by far the worst stock I have ever seen on a rifle. I've heard that the newer stocks are better but do not have first hand experience. I do know that Midway used to have a very nice laminated stock forSavage rifles that I would have bought had I kept it.
