Description
You’ve glassed the ridge for an hour, waiting for the right shot. The wind is steady, the range is long, and you need a rifle that won’t second-guess your judgment. That’s the moment you understand the purpose of a dedicated hunting tool—a rifle built for a single, decisive action. When it comes to making that ethical, long-range shot on Missouri whitetail or western elk, you need a platform that’s ready right out of the box.
The Savage Model 11 Trophy Hunter XP Bolt 270WSM 24″ LH Nikon Scope Synthetic Stock Black is a left-handed, bolt-action hunting rifle package chambered in the flat-shooting .270 Winchester Short Magnum. It comes from the factory with a mounted and bore-sighted Nikon 3-9x40mm scope, a synthetic stock, and Savage’s renowned AccuTrigger system, providing a complete, field-ready solution for the serious left-handed hunter. This package is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Let’s talk about the core advantage: the system is drop-in ready. Savage’s Trophy Hunter XP packages are famous for eliminating the guesswork. The Nikon scope is mounted, the rings are torqued, and the bore-sighting is done. You can verify zero at the range, but the hard part is handled. This means you’re investing in hunting time, not gunsmithing time. The heart of the system is Savage’s user-adjustable AccuTrigger. It’s a clean, crisp pull that you can tune to your preference, a critical feature for maintaining a steady hold on a distant target. The synthetic stock is built for all-weather durability, shrugging off rain, brush, and the bumps of a truck seat without a second thought.
The .270 WSM cartridge is the engine here. It drives high-velocity, heavy-for-caliber bullets with less recoil than a standard .300 Win Mag, giving you the downrange energy for elk and the trajectory for open-country deer. Paired with the 24-inch barrel, you’re maximizing the cartridge’s potential velocity. The left-handed configuration is the real clincher for southpaw shooters—the bolt handle is where it should be, allowing you to maintain your sight picture and follow-through without breaking your shooting position. At a total package price of $527.05, this represents a significant value, bundling a proven Savage action with a quality Nikon optic.

Pros: The complete, ready-to-hunt package is the top benefit. The left-handed action is a major advantage for southpaws. The .270 WSM offers excellent long-range ballistics. The AccuTrigger provides a superior out-of-the-box pull. The synthetic stock is low-maintenance and tough.
Cons: The .270 WSM ammunition can be more expensive and less ubiquitous than .270 Winchester or .308. The synthetic stock, while durable, may not offer the same aesthetic or custom fit as a premium wood or laminate stock. The package scope, while good, may eventually be upgraded by a shooter wanting higher-end glass.
So who is this rifle for? It’s built for the left-handed hunter who demands a no-fuss, capable rifle for big game. It’s for the Missouri hunter chasing Ozark bucks who also dreams of a Wyoming antelope hunt—one rifle that can handle both. It’s for the practical shooter who values a clean trigger and reliable performance over fancy embellishments. If you’re a righty, Savage makes the same package for you; this specific model is for the 10% who’ve had to adapt to a right-handed world. Here’s the thing—it’s a working tool, not a safe queen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope truly ready to shoot?
A: Yes. The Nikon scope is mounted in Savage-branded rings and bore-sighted at the factory. You will need to fire it at a range to confirm and fine-tune the zero for your specific ammunition, but it should be on paper at 100 yards right away.
Q: What is the magazine capacity?
A: The Savage Model 11 typically utilizes a detachable box magazine with a 4-round capacity (3+1) for the .270 WSM cartridge. Always verify local hunting regulations for magazine restrictions.
Q: Can I use .270 Winchester ammunition in this rifle?
A: Absolutely not. The .270 Winchester Short Magnum (.270 WSM) is a different, shorter, and more potent cartridge. Firing a standard .270 Winchester in a .270 WSM chamber is dangerous and can cause catastrophic firearm failure. Only use ammunition clearly marked .270 WSM.
