They've always had package gun deals, usually wearing a cheap azz Simmons scope on them. They definitely aren't topping them with Aetecs, more like the Blazer models.
As far back as the early 60's they came out with the package deals. You could get a Savage 110S back then which came with a Savage 0432 4X scope on top. I think I've got about 5 of them here as well as a 3-7X and a couple 2 1/4X Savage scopes. The old Savage stamped scopes are alot better than the Simmons scopes they're putting on them now.
