I have and have hunted with since the late 80's a savage 110.I put simmons 4-12x40 on it the day i bought it, It has been a very accurate and reliable rifle all these years. A few years ago I bought a Remington 700 in 22-250 that shoots pretty good as well but not quit as well as the 110. I have always wanted to try one in the model 70 (beautiful rifles) but not sure I need another 22-250 and for the extra cost I am sure that its not going to shoot any better than the savage
