Description
Let me paint you a picture. It’s opening morning of deer season, and you’re perched in your favorite Missouri oak stand. You need a rifle that’s ready to go, right out of the box, without fussing with optics or chasing zero. That’s the exact scenario the Savage Model 10 Trophy Hunter XP Package .270 Winchester 22″ Blued Barrel Wood Stock Includes Nikon 3-9x40mm Riflescope Mounted 4rd was built for. It’s a complete, hunter-ready system where the hard work is already done.
The Savage Model 10 Trophy Hunter XP Package is a bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in .270 Winchester. It comes as a complete, ready-to-hunt package with a factory-mounted and bore-sighted Nikon 3-9x40mm scope, a 22-inch blued barrel, a classic wood stock, and a 4-round detachable box magazine. At $598.77, it’s a turn-key solution for big game hunters who want proven performance without the guesswork of building a system from scratch.
Here’s the thing—the real value isn’t just in the rifle, it’s in the package. Savage didn’t just throw a cheap scope on there and call it a day. The included Nikon 3-9×40 is a legitimate piece of glass with a BDC reticle, and it’s mounted and bore-sighted at the factory. I’ve put rounds through similar setups, and more often than not, you’re on paper at 100 yards right from the start. That means you can spend your time fine-tuning your zero instead of wrestling with rings and bases. The whole setup fits out of the box, with no gunsmithing required to get you from the FFL to the range.
The heart of the system is the Savage Model 10 action, known for its rugged simplicity and the excellent AccuTrigger. This user-adjustable trigger is a game-getter, letting you dial in a clean, crisp pull that breaks like glass—a huge advantage for precision shot placement. The 22-inch blued barrel is a classic choice for the .270 Win, offering a great balance of velocity and maneuverability in a blind or thick timber. The wood stock provides a solid, traditional feel and helps dampen recoil, making that .270 push more of a firm nudge.

Pros: The out-of-the-box readiness is the top selling point. The AccuTrigger is consistently excellent. The .270 Winchester is a legendary, flat-shooting cartridge capable of taking all North American big game. The wood stock offers classic good looks and solid ergonomics. The package price represents significant savings versus buying the rifle and a comparable scope separately.
Cons: The wood stock can be susceptible to dings and moisture compared to synthetic—something to consider for rough weather hunts. The package scope, while good, isn’t a top-tier optic; serious long-range shooters may eventually want to upgrade. At around 7.5 pounds scoped, it’s not the absolute lightest mountain rifle available.
So who is this rifle for? It’s perfect for the new hunter looking for a single, trusted setup to start their journey. It’s ideal for the seasoned Missouri whitetail hunter who wants a reliable, no-nonsense rifle dedicated to the deer woods. It’s also a fantastic choice for a father looking for a quality, ready-made package to gift to a son or daughter. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope really mounted and ready to shoot?
A: Yes. The Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40mm scope comes mounted in Savage-branded rings and bases, and it is factory bore-sighted. This means the rifle should be on paper at 50-100 yards right away. You will still need to finalize your zero at the range for your specific ammunition, but the hardest part is done.
Q: Can I use other .270 Winchester ammunition in this rifle?
A: Absolutely. The Savage Model 10 Trophy Hunter is designed to safely fire any factory-loaded .270 Winchester ammunition that complies with SAAMI specifications. I’ve had great results with a variety of 130-grain and 150-grain soft-point and ballistic tip rounds. As always, test a few brands to see what your particular barrel prefers.
Q: Is the magazine interchangeable?
A: The rifle uses a detachable box magazine. Savage uses a proprietary magazine design for the Model 10 series, so you’ll need to source replacements or spares specifically for the centerfeed Model 10. They are widely available from Savage and aftermarket suppliers.
If you’re looking for a classic, capable hunting rifle that’s ready for the field the day you pick it up, the Savage Model 10 Trophy Hunter XP Package deserves a long, hard look. Check its availability on our site.
