I bought a Savage package 30.06 years ago. I killed several elk with it. One year when I was doing my last sight in, I couldn't hit crap. We decided the scope was bad. I was in Meeker, Colorado. I had to pay $400 dollars for a $300 dollar scope.
All in all, I was very happy with the gun and the results from it.
If I was going to buy a Savage package deal again, I would put the scope on a 22 and sell the rings.
