The Savage 110 is a good gun i had mine about 2 days and never shot it until i shot at a coyote at about 120 yrds and hit were i aimed the scope isnt the best but not bad. If u ever get that Big Buck in your Sights and its a cold day dont braeth or u will lose the Buck in the Fog on your scope so learn how to hold your breath

I have a Savage Model 110 that I bought about 8 years ago. It is a .270 and came with the laminated wood stock. The only thing that I ever had done to this rifle was getting the trigger lightened up. It shoots as good as any Rems., Wins., or Rugers in my gun cabinet. It is usually my choice of guns for the Whitetail woods.

One of the first rifles that I deer hunted with was my father's Savage 110 30/06. It was topped with a Redfield Wideview 4x scope. I really liked that rifle. Looking back, the only fault that I could find with the rifle is that the stock was somewhat blocky, and the trigger could have used some work. Also, it seemed pretty heavy. But it shot great, and I am partial to the safety position on it.

I now shoot a Browning A-Bolt 30/06. It does have a much better trigger, and it has an overall better feel to it. But I do like the fact that the safety is in the same place. The Browning is quite a bit more expensive, and it is absolutely disheartening the way that the beautiful stock has scratched up from use. On the Savage, you could hardly see the scratches, as it had a "plain jane" stock.

I think that the Savage is a wonderful starter or intermediate rifle for someone, especially if they are on a tight budget. They are very capable of some great groups, right out of the box. But I would definitely be cautious of the package deals, as they do have cheap scopes, and poor mounts.

The nice thing about Savage, is the fact that you can buy the rifle, plus a pretty descent scope and mount set for around the price of what you would pay for similar rifles made by their chief competitors.
