I Have a Savage 110 .243 i bought at Wal mart. It was without accurtigger, so got the gun for under $200. It came with a simmons 3x9x40 scope. With my 100Gr Sierra SPBT reloads I HAve from day 1 shot 1/2 to 1/4 inch groups at 100 Yards. Truely a teriffic gun. Wouldnt trade it for the world. Stays within 1/2 groups even after 30 shots without running a bruch through it.

Id buy one in every calibur if i could. Thats how GOOD they truely are.

Savage makes very accurate rifles with great triggers (Accutrigger) out of the box. I feel that they offer tremendous value for hunters/shooters who are on or even off of a budget. Sadly, I only have 3 Savage rifles (223, 7-08, and 30-06) but do hope to add a fourth in 300 mag this summer.

I have a savage in the same caliber. I personally think its a great gun. Reasonable price and very accurate and best of all the caliber is fantastic for deer hunting.

I own a Savage 210f, (bolt action, rifled 12ga shotgun). It shoots 1 in groups at 100yds with Remington core-lokt ultra's.
Now I'm taking it to the next step with a Savage 10ml w/accutriger. Normally these are great guns out of the box, however I couldn't resist going a bit further. I just order a new Henry Ball custom 10ml lmtd. Fortunately I order mine days before they stopped producing them, for the time being.
I'll let everyone know how it is when it arrives in about a month...

Looking real hard at one in 300 WSM based on all the good reports from everywhere.

How may that bought the package rifle would do it that way again?

Id buy the package gun again in a heartbeat. The scopes are as good as the $700 big budget scopes. Honestly are Ive even dropped my simons 3 feet from cleaning the gun, and its still dead on.
The 300 your looking at is awesome. I shot one lastweek a guy just bought. Same gun in the Kit. And it was NICE!!

WhiteTail,
That's BigCountry's Savage not Mossy33Oak's. He borrowed the targets from BC.











HA! HA! HA!

I have one in 300 WSM and I'm not happy at all 100 yards 1.56in 5 shot group Sent it back to savage and they told me that was exceptable
And why shouldn't that be? How many loads have you tried with it? 1.5" @ 100yds is acceptable for a hunting weight rifle in a hunting caliber. If you don't like those 1.5" groups, send the gun to me, I will glady take that.

Oh, and by the way, I have a 110 in .30-06. Shoots about 1.5" also, and I have been working with loads for it for some time, and somehow, it still manages to kill deer.
