Savage youth rifle scope package in 243

[Jack Brock]

Can anyone give me info or opinions on this rifle and package deal?
Is it a good outfit in terms of quality? I have never owned a Savage arms rifle as I always thought they were cheap but the times dictate that it looks right in price and the wife is more thrifty than I am so is this a good deal and package for her? Thanks for any info.

The rifles are great quality. You'll have no complaints there. The scopes....you'll probably want to upgrade in the future, but it'll get you by for now.

That about nailed it.

Bought one for my kids a few weeks ago for $499 at IS in Surrey. Great little package, it is very light and ours shoots very well. My son loves it and I sure can't complain about the quality. If I had to pick one sucky thing, it would be the stock being weak forward of the magwell. It takes very little force to push it into the free floated barrel. I'll probably end up with a full size model after the new year.

"...they were cheap..." Relatively inexpensive, but not cheap. Savage rifles are the best bang for your buck. Like Ormachek says, the package scopes are low end, but they'll do.
