Opinions wanted on Savage 111 Series
So I'm looking around at different 30-06's and I run across a Savage 111FXP3 at D1cks Sporting Goods and really liked the feel of it. Does anybody have any experience, opinions, input on this rifle? Price out the door is $380.
I have a Remington 7400 that I can use indefinitely or purchase from a friend, but as previously stated, I really liked the feel of the Savage.
Thanks in advance (as always)....

Here's one man who did regret buying a Savage. It was a model 11fns .308, and it diddent shoot like I expected it to with all of the tackdriver comments made about them. I ended up selling it, and buying a Winchester stainless classic. That rifle shoots good, expecially for a magnum deer rifle. I would take a good hard look at everything on the market brfpr you hone in on any one maker. They all make good shooters, and not-so-good shooters depending on the luck of the draw. Buy a rifle based on features and handling, not an unverifiable inferences.

i've got a 111 and i love it. Shootsgreat and has been very dependable. It was my go to gun last year shot 2 shots at game with it and brought both animals home. It's a wellbalanced firearm and agood shooter.I dont see where savages are all that ugly either like everyone claims. I personaly think they're 114's are really sharp. Go with the savage you wont regret it!
