Here’s the thing—this package is about delivering maximum value per dollar. The included Nikon scope is a legitimate optic, not a disposable rings-and-rail set you’d immediately replace. The 24-inch blued barrel provides a full sight radius for the .300 Win Mag cartridge to reach its velocity potential, making it a serious contender for western hunts or open terrain. The synthetic stock is a practical trade-off; it keeps the cost down and the reliability up in Missouri’s variable hunting weather. You’re looking at a system weight around 7.8 pounds, which is manageable for a magnum caliber, though you’ll feel the recoil more than in a heavier target rifle.
Who This Rifle Is For
This package is ideal for the budget-conscious hunter stepping up to long-range or large game hunting. It’s for the Missouri whitetail hunter who also dreams of an elk out west, or the shooter who needs one rifle to do several jobs without breaking the bank. It’s also a solid pick for a new hunter who wants a complete, trustworthy setup from day one, avoiding the confusion of selecting separate bases, rings, and optics. If you need a rugged, no-frills tool that works straight out of the box, this fits the bill.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The outstanding value is the headline—getting a Savage rifle with a quality Nikon scope for this price is significant savings. The AccuTrigger is a genuine performance feature usually found on more expensive guns. The package is truly ready-to-hunt, minimizing initial setup time and cost. The .300 Win Mag caliber is versatile and widely available, with ammunition options from many manufacturers like Federal, Hornady, and Remington.
Cons: The .300 Win Mag has stout recoil, which can be punishing in a lighter synthetic stock—a limbsaver recoil pad is a wise, low-cost addition. The blued barrel requires more maintenance to prevent rust than a stainless steel option. The synthetic stock, while durable, may not offer the same aesthetic or custom fit as a premium wood or composite stock. That said, these are the exact trade-offs that make the $527.05 price point possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the scope really ready to shoot?
A: The scope is mounted and factory bore-sighted. This means it should be on paper at 100 yards, but you will absolutely need to fine-tune and confirm zero with your chosen ammunition at the range before hunting.
Q: What kind of bases/rings does it use?
A: The package includes Savage-branded bases and rings designed for the Model 111’s receiver. They are a standard Weaver-style base, so many aftermarket rings from brands like Warne or Leupold will also be compatible if you wish to change them later.
Q: Is this suitable for a first-time rifle owner?
A: It can be, but with a major caveat. The rifle itself is straightforward and reliable. However, the .300 Winchester Magnum is a powerful cartridge with significant recoil and noise. It may be intimidating for a complete novice. For a first-timer primarily hunting deer in Missouri, a milder caliber like .308 Win or .30-06 might be a more forgiving choice to learn on.
Available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, the Savage Model 111 Trophy Hunter XP Package represents a classic value proposition in the hunting world.
