My 260 Savage came as a package. It had a Simmons scope on it a 3x9. I used it for two years and it worked fine. I now have it on my 22 Bolt action Remington 22 rifle. Still works fine. I put an old Bushnell Sportsview 6X on the 260 for a couple elk hunts. Those were good old scopes I bought about 20 of them for 19.00 bucks each. I was selling guns then. I kept a couple and sold the rest. Now they quit making the sportsview and went to the sportsman. I have not tried one of those yet.
