I don't yet own a scoped bolt action rifle. Big 5 has the Savage 111 with synthetic stock and a Simmons scope on sale for $399. I went and checked it out today (in .30-06) and liked the weight and feel. The action could have better, but I imagine it would slick up after some use, or with a little work. So far, the reviews I've read online seem to indicate that it is a good value for the money, and I have a Leupold that would probably go on it should I proceed with the purchase. I don't have much cash which is why this deal is appealing to me. Understand that guns are always more expensive in effin' CA than elsewhere.
Do you have experience with this model? Can you please give me your impressions or thoughts on this rifle? Thank you!
