Savage 111 package rifles
Has anyone picked up the recent Savage 111 scope/rifle combo from their local sporting goods store lately? I purchased one last week and despite every reference I've found online stating they come with a Simmons scope, it appears mine may have come with a Bushnell Buckhorn. Just curious if anyone else could confirm that is how they are shipping now.

I bought a savage rifle package a few months ago and the scope was average. I had a Simmons, but I decided to put on a Nikon Buckmaster instead. I'm putting the simmons scope on my little .22
I love savage guns, but in the future I will steer away from the package deals, because the scopes aren't worth it.

My cousin has the Savage 110 w/o accutrigger for over three years now and all that it still has on it is the cheap Simmons scope that came with it. It is a 300 Win Mag and he's killed numorous deer at over 200 yards with it and it is still going strong.

I normally opt not to get the package deals and suggest others to do the same. The scopes and mounts used are normally not very good. A Stevens 200 and a separate scope of better quality is usually the better route. Might cost a bit more but the quality optics would be worth it my opinion.

Yeah I tried to go that route, but funny enough the old place in town that had the Stevens wanted more for that then the 111 combo cost me.
