Any feedbck on Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP 300 Win

[Intedserve]

Hello

Any feedback on the Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP 300 Win Package that comes with a scope? I am thinking of getting one as my only large game rifle for deer, black bear, caribou and moose hunting. Thanks Sorry - the title should read "feedback"

Great gun for the money. Just swap out the rings and make sure the bases r tight. They're light and recoil is sharp but very manageable

As long as it has the accutrigger go for it. I had a Savage 11 xp in .308 and it had a heavy, gritty trigger. Don't expect too much from the scope either, you'll end up replacing it.

Mine is in 7RemMag and I love it. I like the weaver scope that came with as well. IMO the only drawback is the plastic magazine catch for the release, and the hard to find mags are 60 bucks or more. Great shooting rifle tho!

I got a 338 Win package from Savage and had the scope keep moving on me. If you want it to be reliable I would think you will have to replace the rings. I did.

How long did your mag catch last before it broke? I just ask because I just bought one of these for my nephew in 243 and am wondering if I should tell him to get a spare mag just in case his breaks.
