Combo is essential for range or field. Handles likes a dream

A solid, reliable rifle as one should expect from this time-tested family of bolt action weapons. My only complaint is that no effort was made at all to zero the scope before shipping, which requires the new owner (me) to wasted several costly rounds just trying to get on the entire target before beginning the process of actually fine tuning. I'm sure they just mounted the scope and did nothing in the way of adjusting. Obviously, this is not a flaw or fault in the weapon or scope. It's seller laziness/inconsideration. No, it's not an expensive rifle, but for 500 bucks, they could take 10 mins and at least adjust it enough to land a shot in the circle at 100 yds.

This is a good rifle, BUT the scope was NOT bore-sighted, not even close. The first shot through this rifle wasn't even on the paper at 25 yards, eventually, we figured out it was at 2 o'clock about a foot off, at 25 yards. Since I didn't have a rifle clamp, it took me nearly a full box of ammo to get this sighted in to be accurate at 100 yards. Kind of frustrating for a gun advertised as "ready to go".
I like the Nikon Scope a lot. It's one of the nicest scopes I've looked through at this point.

Amazing. The bolt action is BUTTER. Accurate as heck. Feels great. Get one.

Rifle it's self works great fires great and very accurate. Scope was completely off, looks like they just dropped a scope on and thru it out the door. Screws weren't as tight as they should have been, scope cross hairs were crooked to the left noticeably. I had to get the scope realigned and reinstalled, so not a ready to go rifle like they advertised. Other than that I have no other problems, rifle functions perfectly and surprisingly very smooth action.

Savage 11 TH XP 308 NIKON....a great gun. The pros - without saying, Bud's service continues to be excellent, quick delivery and the best pricing. I took this rifle to the range on 8-28 and after sighting it in, it was a tack-driver. I shot at 50, 100 and 200 yards and was able to hit dead center of a 1" bull. Every 2nd or 3rd shot always touched the 1st shot. The cons - I expected the scope to be bore sighted, it was not. I started at 100 yds. and could not hit the paper (18" X 26") after 2 shots. I move to 50 yds. and the 1st two holes were 15" low and 5" to the left. After a few adjustments, I was able to hit the center with 3 shots, the same at 100 and then 200 yds. With the low cost of this fine weapon, I should not complain to much, however, I feel Savage could have done a better job with bore sighting, for the betterment of their reputation. Ron

Purchased the Savage 11 trophy. Great fun at a great price. Fast shipping to my FFL, will purchase my next firearm from them again.

Great rifle for the economical hunter. Took it out and had it sighted in within a few rounds. Can't wait to harvest my next deer in the fall. Buds Gun Shop provided great service and ease of ordering.

"Another great transaction with Buds, Saw this package deal for $291 and couldn't pass it up. Smooth transaction to my FFL, I replaced the standard scope rings with my usual Warne Mounts, made sure base screws were tightened up with the Blue Loctite, remounted the Nikon Scope in my Warne Mounts and re-bore-sighted. Should be good to go rock solid now for sighting in at the range. Can't wait to shoot

I just got my Savage 11 yesterday, and i couldn't be happier with my purchase from buds; again they beat everyone else's price. I was ordering a S&W AR, and saw the price on the Savage & couldn't pass it up($291) everywhere else lists it at $550. Buds customer service was execellent as usual, delivery was prompt to my FFL. I can't wait to put rounds down range with my .308, all aspects of this rifle are superb.

Love it. No complaints. Probably going to change out the scope this year

I killed a nice 6 point in his bed with a neck shot with this rifle. I had to shoot him left handed so as not to have to turn after I spotted him. The accutrigger made it so easy - his head dropped and it was over. The rifle came up and was on him with no effort, even left handed. This is now my go to gun.

Buds is great to deal with. This is an excellent hunting rifle. The Nikon scope is clear and bright. The whole package is lightweight. The trigger is very good. My rifle shoots right about 1 moa with high-quality factory ammo. This is not a target rifle, but it's not supposed to be. The barrel will heat up and lose some accuracy after several quick shots. This would not occur under field conditions, only range conditions.

Fast shipping and great gun! Haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet, but being a Savage I have no doubt it will be great

Although I have had no chance to fire this rifle I wanted to state how I initially feel about this .308. This is my 7th purchase from Bud's and they are a great outfit to deal with. I couldn't be happier with their service. The gun itself looks and feels great. I expect great accuracy and dependability from Savage so I'm really not concerned about the performance. The only real gripe I have is not receiving scope caps for the nice Nikon BDC scope. I don't understand this….the less expensive Savage Axis-Bushnell scope combo has caps included. Other than that, this combo is NICE.

Thanks for the great pricing Bud's!! Great firearm. Recoil is easy to manage. .308 WIN is my favorite Caloiber. Only issue if you would call it an issue (this is all the fun) Scope was loose and way off. After a few rounds at the outside range this Baby was sinking sub-moas. This is a pure value for it's price point. What ever caliber your looking for - this is the package deal that KILL'S.

Sight was way off out of the box but once zeroed in was shooting 1.5 moa. Bolt is crisp and smooth. Love the mag. All in all great rifle package!

Greta rifle out of the box. Quick shipping from buds! Will definitely buy more in the future.

Shipped less than 24 hours after Payment. Rifle picked up from FFL 5 days after payment with no problems. Will try to shoot tomorrow, im excited!! Buds is always cheaper than the competition and the only place I'll but a firearm from, the wait is worth it when your saving almost $100 compared to local sporting goods stores.

Got exactly what I wanted. Right out of the box the rifle required very little modification to have it shooting lasers up to 400 yards. Only reason it capped at 400 yards was I didn't have a chance to shoot farther. Shipped quickly, no issues at all. Will definitely use BudsGunShop again.

This was the first rifle I've personally owned (shot my brothers rifle) so I really don't have much of a point of reference. But I can tell you that though I had to wait a bit for the rifle to ship this rifle is a great value and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a basic hunting rifle. The action is smooth and the scope is great. The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the synthetic stock but that's just because I didn't know what to expect and for the price I'm not going to complain. After a good cleaning and sending a few rounds down range my scope mounts loosened up a little bit. Tightened them down and didn't have another problem. Taking it to the range this weekend to break in the barrel and do my final adjustments then will be ready to help rid Texas of a few hogs. I would most certainly recommend this Rifle to anyone looking for a sub $500 package.

Excellent scope and rifle package for the price. You could easily spend this much on a scope alone. The synthetic stock did have a couple of ugly burrs, but the action is smooth and the optics on the scope are crystal clear. The accu-trigger is set nice and light from the factory, but it is adjustable by the user. Highly recommended.
