Description
Picture this: you’re a left-handed hunter on a budget, standing at the counter. You need a rifle that’s ready for deer season without needing a second mortgage for the optic. You want something that works straight away, no fuss. That’s the exact scenario the Savage Model 111 Trophy Hunter XP Package .270 Winchester 22″ Blued Barrel Black Synthetic Stock 4rd Includes Nikon 3-9x40mm Riflescope Mounted Left Handed is built for. It’s a complete, out-of-the-box hunting solution designed for southpaws who prioritize value and immediate functionality.
The Savage Model 111 Trophy Hunter XP Package is a left-handed bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in .270 Winchester. It comes as a ready-to-hunt package with a mounted Nikon 3-9x40mm scope, a synthetic stock, and a blued barrel. Priced at $527.05, it offers a significant cost saving versus buying the rifle and optic separately, making it a practical entry-point for new hunters or a reliable backup gun.
Let’s break down the value. The core of this package is Savage’s renowned Model 111 action, which features the user-adjustable AccuTrigger. This is a huge deal for a budget rifle. You can tune the pull weight to your preference without a trip to the gunsmith, giving you a crisp, clean break that directly impacts accuracy. The synthetic stock is built for the elements—it’s tough, lightweight, and shrugs off moisture and temperature swings better than wood. That said, the tradeoff is feel; it won’t have the classic heft or grain of a walnut stock, but for a working hunting rifle, the synthetic’s durability wins.
The included Nikon 3-9x40mm scope is where the “XP” (eXcellent Package) name earns its keep. Nikon’s optics are known for clarity and reliable light transmission, and the 3-9x magnification is the absolute sweet spot for most North American big game, from whitetail in Missouri’s hardwoods to pronghorn out west. It comes mounted and bore-sighted from the factory. Is it a $1,000 premium scope? No. But it’s a massive step up from no-name package scopes and is genuinely hunt-ready. The 22-inch barrel length strikes a good balance between maneuverability and velocity for the .270 Win cartridge.
Here’s the thing—the .270 Winchester is a legendary deer cartridge for good reason. It offers flat trajectory, manageable recoil, and proven terminal performance. With a weight around 7.5 lbs unscoped, this package becomes a very carry-friendly rifle in the field. The 4-round capacity (3+1) is standard for the platform and ample for hunting. The blued finish is classic and effective, though it requires more diligent maintenance than a modern nitride or cerakote to prevent rust.

Pros: Exceptional out-of-the-box value. Includes a reputable Nikon scope, mounted. Left-handed configuration is a boon for southpaws. The adjustable AccuTrigger is a premium feature at this price. Synthetic stock is weather-resistant and durable. Chambered in the versatile, widely available .270 Win.
Cons: Blued barrel requires more maintenance in humid conditions. Synthetic stock may feel hollow or less premium than composite alternatives. Package scope, while good, may eventually be upgraded by serious shooters. The model is discontinued by Savage, making this remaining inventory.
This rifle is for the left-handed hunter who wants to hit the woods this season, not next. It’s for the new shooter who needs a complete, trustworthy setup without piecing it together. It’s also a solid choice for a budget-conscious hunter looking for a dedicated bad-weather or truck gun. If you’re right-handed, Savage makes a mirror version of this package—look for the standard right-hand model. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases when ordering online.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope really mounted and ready to shoot?
A: Yes. The Nikon scope comes mounted in Savage factory rings and is bore-sighted. This means it should be on paper at 100 yards, but you must finalize the zero at the range with your chosen ammunition. It’s a huge time-saver.
Q: Can I use other scope mounts or rings with this rifle?
A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases. Popular brands like Weaver, Leupold, or Warne make bases compatible with the Savage 111 long-action pattern. The included bases and rings are functional, but you can upgrade them if desired.
Q: Is the .270 Winchester a good caliber for Missouri whitetail?
A: It’s an excellent and popular choice. The .270 Win offers more than enough power for ethical deer hunting at typical Missouri ranges, with a flatter trajectory than the .30-30 and less recoil than the .30-06. Ammunition is widely available in various bullet weights.
