Savage Model 111G (270 Win.)
 
Has anyone shot this model? Just wondering about the pros and cons of this rifle. Thanks.

Hi gman1969,

I have a Savage 111 (though without running to the "cabinet" I don't recall if it's an F, a G, or which specifically). It's chambered for .30-06, has the removable box magazine, and came packaged with a Simmons 3X9 scope. That scope got "yanked" and put on a Savage .17HMR, where it is performing quite well. The replacement scope was a Nikon 3X9 Buckmaster that I picked up for $179. or $189., and it has worked very well.

I wasn't even looking for a "new rifle" when I stumbled on this one. It was an end of season sale on the package rifles in one of the "discount stores".....at a price I couldn't pass up. The rifle shoots well, right out of the box.....though the trigger could be improved. (This year I believe Savage is selling all of its centerfires with the Accutrigger.....a big improvement.) I haven't done extensive work with this rifle yet....but it looks promising.

I am very happy with the value for my money, and would not hesitate to recommend it! Good luck!

P.S. It's a little on the "ugly side"....but I could care less!

Never seeen a bad savage. Like was said above, with the accutrigger( I have one:D) this is a top shelf rifle with a cheap beer price!

This may bea question only you can answer. My Savage 110 doesn't have it, and it shoots just fine. There's no substitute for practice and familiarity with the rifle.

I have 3 savages (2-110, 1-111) and all have preformed very well for me. Always a very dependable gun.

I would say yes. I have a .270 with the AccuTrigger and it is a VERY good trigger. I breaks like glass and has no creep or travel.

I have the 30-06 with the accu trigger. Shoots really well. The trigger is crisp and very light.
