I am posting this for my brother. He is looking at buying the Savage 116fxp3 Stainless Synthetic in 338 Win Mag. The price on this rifle up here in Canada in $640 and includes the 3-9X40 Simmons Scope and sling. Although a higher end rifle is desireable, with another baby on the way, my brother is looking to save some money. He will upgrade the scope within a year or two, but for now this sounds like a pretty good deal. Can anyone proved any comments, advice, opions, etc. on this rifle in this calibre. We were also wondering how the safety is on this rifle. Thanks.
