I have a 110 FXP3 package gun and I have had no problems with the rings or scope, and the 243 is a very good deer caliber, at least in northwest Arkansas where I live and hunt.
I was looking for a flat shooting cartridge and a quality rifle and did a lot of resaerch before I decided on the Savage.
IMHO you can' t beat this package for quality, economy, and all around shooting enjoyment.
