RE: SAVAGE 110
i purchased one in 7mm-08 as my backup gun. Now it's my primary gun for hunting. I was very surprised with how well this gun shoots. Accuracy is top notch. My bolt was a little sticky in the beginning, but i oiled it up, cycled it a number of times while sighting it in and now it's smooth. Its still not as smooth as my M70, but i couldn't be more pleased with the gun and what i paid for it. right out of the box i was hitting right about 1" off center consistently.

I have one in 06, my first real rifle that I ever owned (purchased it on my 18th B-day). Still have it and it has taken several pigs and my first deer. I finally sat down with it good this past december and got it dialed in well, I was shooting clay pigeons that were set out at 200 yrds every time. Savage is known for their accuracy, and this is no exception. It is also very very reasonably priced.

My son bought one of the Package guns in .30-06. He is absolutely deadly with that thing. Very accurate, light, cheap...butt ugly! Who cares that it ain't pretty when it puts the meat in the freezer over and over again without fail. I'm actually a little jealous that he spent so little and has gotten such great results!

RE: SAVAGE 110
I purchased two Savage 110's for my sons, both in a .270 Win. I chose the 110 for three reasons....#1 Price Point, #2 Accuracy out of the Box, #3 Detachable Mag.
Right out of the box, both these guys shoot tight groups, even with the cheap Simmons Scope that was included with the package.
Also, I have seen guys lightly sand the synth stocks to take out the mold ridges and even paint them, where they looked like a $300-$400 stock.
