This package is built for the value-focused hunter. It’s ideal for a first-time big-game rifle buyer, a seasoned hunter needing a dependable backup, or anyone who wants to avoid the cost and complexity of separately buying and mounting a scope.

Pros & Cons
Pros: The biggest advantage is the out-of-the-box readiness. You get a proven action, a decent entry-level scope, and a solid trigger—all for one low price. The synthetic stock shrugs off rain and knocks, and the .30-06 caliber offers immense versatility with a huge selection of available ammunition. It’s a true ‘bang-for-buck’ champion.
Cons: Compromises exist to hit this price. The stock is basic and may not offer perfect ergonomics for all shooters. The scope is a functional starter optic, not a premium glass. Here’s the thing—you could spend hundreds more on a stock and scope, but for getting the job done, this combo works. The rifle weighs about 7.5 pounds scoped, making it manageable for all-day carries.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope already mounted and bore-sighted?
A: Yes, the Bushnell scope comes mounted and is typically bore-sighted from the factory. However, you must take it to the range to confirm and fine-tune the zero for your specific ammunition at your desired distance. No gunsmithing required for this final step.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With the adjustable AccuTrigger and a proper zero, most shooters find the Savage Model 111 capable of 1.5 MOA or better with quality factory ammo. That’s more than sufficient for ethical hunting shots at typical ranges. Remember, performance also depends on the shooter and ammunition choice.
Q: Is the .30-06 a good choice for Missouri whitetail?
A: Absolutely. The .30-06 Springfield is a classic, versatile North American cartridge. It’s more than capable for Missouri whitetail deer, but also has the power for larger game like elk if you travel west. It offers a wide range of bullet weights, from 150 to 180 grains being very popular for deer. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, with an FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
If you’re looking for a practical, no-nonsense hunting rifle that gets you in the game without breaking the bank, this Savage package deserves a close look.
