I have one of the first ones they came out with it doesn't have the accutrigger but other than that it is an awsome gun. It is supper accurate out to 800 yards i have it topped with a weaver 4x16 scope.

thanks for the intell, how much am i looking at if i go to a after market stock? I like the thumbhole and the sniper style stocks. wood would be ok but im leaning tward synthetic on this one.

Yikes! You can get a FN SPR for that kind of money, a far better rifle.
For a higher end rifle, I'd get a remington if only because the action is a lot smoother than the clunky Savage. For a budget rifle, I'd be willing to overlook the imperfect Savage action, but if it were my money buying more than a budget rifle, I'd go with a Remington.

That is a good rifle. I had a buddy who had one and was getting 1/2 inch groups with factory ammo. That is great accuracy from any point of view.
Nikons are decent scopes. They are tough and bright but they do not have the best resolution. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend. If you want to stay in the under 500 doller range, You can get a 3x9 Leupold VXIII or Zeiss Conquest and both are outstanding for the money. You can also get into the Bushnell Elite 4200 and Burris Signature series for a bit less. These are both legendary scopes and have excellent optics. If you were thinking about the straight Nikon Monarch, which is areound 300 bucks, you need to look at the Leupold VXII and the Sightron SIII.
For the 200 doller range, Look no further than the Sightron SII and the Burris Fullfield.\
Good Luck

The synthetic stock on the Savage rifles are just fine to hold on to to fire the gun. Thats all a synthetic stock is for. If you are going to try knocking trees over with it then you might have a problem. I have had a ton of Savage rifles and never had a minutes problem with the stocks. The Barska scopes are pretty good stuff and I have not seen a bad report on them. For long range shooting though, I would buy a Night Force. They start at 1100 or so but there is probably not a better long range scope available. For just varmit hunting and big game hunting the 6x24's and 3x9's are as good as it gets IMO.

I have a savage 110FP in .308 Topped it off with a leupold 3.5x10x40. It is by far my favorite gun.
I got it from Forsyth County S.W.A.T. when they decided to buy new guns.

I have a Savage Tactical 308 with the 26" barrel ant Choate stock. I am very impressed with it. I shot a ground hog at 504 yds. very accurate!!
