Savage Arms 11 Trophy Hunter XP .260 Remington Bolt Action Rifle - Blue/Black, 22" Barrel, 4+1 Rounds, Synthetic, Fixed Stock

I wrote a multi-part review for this rifle here: https://wordpress.com/post/landngroove.wordpress.com/27 https://wordpress.com/post/landngroove.wordpress.com/14 https://wordpress.com/post/landngroove.wordpress.com/47 https://wordpress.com/post/landngroove.wordpress.com/68 https://wordpress.com/post/landngroove.wordpress.com/111

Nice rifle but it did come with a small red-ish finish imperfection towards the receiver, nothing too bad but it does bother me a little. If it starts rusting I'll just cerakote it. The bolt is smooth, trigger is descent, and the stock is free floated. I really thought the Nikon scope would be a Prostaff but it's not, it's a cheaper Nikon scope, no focus adjustments, no zero reset turrents, still works fine though. Overall a great package at a great price.

Rifle itself is excellent. Accuracy is 1MOA. Trigger is outstanding. Barrel was well floated. Stock was very flimsy, required bedding and forearm reinforcement, but has a good pad. Drop is too much, requires cheek pad to obtain correct eye placement, but this is true of _90% of rifles on the market. Bolt runs smooth and fast. If you aren't afraid of bedding a rifle yourself, it's a steal. I had to make use of the buysafe guarantee. The price I paid was $455, dropped to $436, then for about 5 minutes, was as low as $411. I captured a screen shot at $411 and BuySafe was very easy to get the $44 difference refunded. Fast, quick, polite, nothing but the best to say about it. Never mattered to me before because I never had a price change more than a few bucks. But I can tell you, the buysafe guarantee makes sure that you are getting the very best price for the firearm. Sold the Nikon for $150, got my $44 back, prorates the gun price to $261, and you cannot find a better gun for twice that price.
