I love my Savage 111s. (270 Win. & 7mm Rem. Magnum). Bothhave the Accutrigger. I highly recommend this particular model. These rifles look great as you can see from the picture posted above.

I have the 111 in 30-06. It is my 'default' rifle. Shoots well, good price. You might want to consider upgrading to a better scope in the future.

As stated earlier, you will probably want to upgrade the optics and the mounting system on that package. The scope that came on my Savage package gun was a cheap Simmons and the rings and mounts were a soft aluminum. I would not have bought the package gun, but it wascheaper thanthe model without the scope. Here are the pro and cons of Savages IMO:

Pros: Normally they are very accurate, have a good triggerin the accutrigger, and are well priced.

Cons: Their synthetic stocks are not good at all...by far the weakest factory stock I have held(I have heard the heavy barrel versions have a better stock). The bolt seemed "rough" to me, aftermarket parts are not as readily available,and it seemed a little rough or maybe not as refined as other rifles.


IMO the Savage offers a lot for the money and will likely be an accurate gun. However, I never really"fell in love" with the Savage as I have with other guns. I wound up selling mine to someone who seemed very pleased with it.

My 111 in 30-06 shoots clover leafs at 150 yards using a swift 6x18 varmint scope set to 10 power and shooting 150 grain ballistic tip handloaded and remington 150 grain cor-lot. In the past have owned over twenty savages in many calibers, all shot very accurate an old model 110 from the 50's or 60's was one of the best.
Be careful to braek new guns in slowly, don't over heat the barrel, clean often, try different grain weights and bullet types. There are no ugly savages just people who think a pretty gun is a shooter, not true!

I think that a 400$ savage shoots and feels as good as a 6-700$ gun. I would spend the extra money and get the stainless package, they can order if for you - this will be worth it for you in the long run - better for hunting if thats what you do.
