Get a good gun case and sling for it, then the best scope you can afford... or at least one worth $200+ dollars. You'll get back in quality and performance per amount of money you are willing to invest.

Also learn that your rifle will shoot different brands and bullet weights and types differently. One type of brand or bullet may not shoot or group well for you. If you try a different one, you could have much better results. It takes some experimenting and shell investing to find what your rifle likes best.

Another thing you should consider is asking in a different thread.... to ask about how to break in a new barrel. Most people don't do this either because they don't know about it, don't care or don't believe it's necessary.

Good luck and heard those Savages are pretty straight shooters right out of the box.
