Savage Arms 11 Hog Hunter .308 Win Bolt Action Rifle - Blue/Black, 20" Barrel, 4+1 Rounds, Synthetic, Fixed Stock

The action is quite sloppy.

As always Savage has produced a winner. The open sights required only minor adjustments to zero at 150 yds. Using raised mounts and Leupold 3x9 so open sights can be ready for closeup work. Rifle has taken deer and hogs .308 round has good knock down power.

Very impressed with this rifle. Couldn't ask for better customer service!

Excellent, solid rifle. Put a scope on it and that was it. Shot 1" with handloads, Heavy barrel minimizes POI change with silencer.

Awesome rifle!!! I have several rifles but this one is my favorite!!

I tried my best to sight in this rifle. I have been shooting for 45 years and consider myself an experienced shooter. I used several various brands of ammo to get this thing accurate. It was all over the place and I think I could hit the broad side of a big barn from maybe 25 yards away. I think I may have received a defective rifle. Oh well, it's mine now.

I have had this rifle for 6 years now shoots almost all the different Mach grade ammo at sub MOA I’m currently shooting 168 hollow point boat tails and holding sub moa groups at 200 and 300 yards awesome rifle I would by a his same rifle in 22-250 if savage made it.

My opinions on this rifle are divided.
The Good: Accurate, will shoot 1.5 MOA or better out of the box with decent to good quality factory loads (likes 155gr/168gr Hornady Black).
Machining/Finish, good but could be better, mechanically sound and will eat whatever you feed it but the bolt is just a little chunky but should smooth out on it's own (hopefully). Holes drilled for scope base are DEAD ON the mark. Very well centered and the spacing is perfect. Barrel threads are very well cut and smooth. Feeds reliably and has no issues ejecting spent cases. Trigger is awesome, light and crisp. Three position safety works perfectly.
The not so good: Iron sights are awesome but you kinda need the rear sight to make a sight picture with the front. Mine was not included and was nowhere to be found inside the box but I scoped it, so realistically I'm not THAT worried about it. The stock: flimsy and flexes horribly, recoil pad is WAAAAY too soft and the sharp edges of the stock as a whole just seem to be unfinished. Lots of flash that had to be trimmed off of the edges and then sanded to avoid small cuts (like paper cuts which SUCK!) Also, check for mild corrosion on the bolt locking lugs as mine has it all over them as well as on the bolt face.
Overall rating: 7/10 at best. Solid rifle that is lightweight, accurate and very reasonably priced. Would recommend as an affordable and well built entry level hunting/LRP Fundy's rifle, moreover great as a brush or truck gun.

Great gun for the price. Mine is very accurate, especially with Barnes hand loads. I'm getting sub MOA groups. It shoots Remington Core-Lokt 150 grain bullets very well too. Yes, the stock if fugly, but that's not an issue for me with a brush gun.

Received the rifle and the first thing I did was clean and grease the slide and bolt. Took It to the range and the first two shots with just the iron sights at 50 yards with pmc ammunition were touching holes. Could not have asked for a better grouping rifle for the price. I've got the iron sights where I want them and the rifle has been consistent with every shot. The stock is a little flimsy like most reviews say but it doesn't seem to effect the shots at all. I plan on bedding in the stock but I'll keep the factory one on it. No complaints out of this rifle at all.
