Picked up this one today. It was a package deal with the vortex ive got in classifieds. I put my nikon monarch on it.
It is a Savage 110 Apex hunter xp. I was uncertain when I ordered it as to the action length, but am thrilled to see that its built on the long action. Going to make for some loooong bullets.

What caliber?

We score trophies, but every hunt is, to some extent, a way of measuring ourselves.

Sweet!
The older I get the more I understand why roosters just scream to start their day.
Re: Got me a new deer gun....
I killed my first deer in Nov 1983 with my first deer rifle. It was a Revelation/Savage model 110 in .243 with a 3x9 Bushnell scope. The man that owned the local Western Auto set it up for me, scope, rings etc and even sighted it in for me. He was like family to me growing up. My oldest son killed his first deer with it too. I hope someday to have grandkids that will use it also. Great shooting guns!

Re: Got me a new deer gun....
Ive had a lot of rifles from a bunch of different manufacturers. Ive never had a Savage that wasnt a shooter. They aint the purtiest rifles out there, but they are usually accurate.Sackett wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 9:22 am I killed my first deer in Nov 1983 with my first deer rifle.
