How about a Holland Game Getter. It is a hunting scope
2.5-15 power scope (SFP)
Great reticle, zero stop, excellent glass for the money.

As a Savage, it is rather easy to switch out barrels. I ordered several different short action calibers from McGowen Precision in Kalispell, MT. for mine. They make Striker contour replacements in your choice of caliber, twist rates, and barrel length. I have 22-250 9" twist 17" long, 243 Win, 260AI, and 7M-08 Enjoy!I've been looking for awhile for one of these & finally found one, a 516. Came with a 2-6x Bushnell. I took it out & ran some handloads that I'd already had worked up for another 260 rifle. Hornady 129sp over H4350. I was surprised when I didn't even have to adjust the scope for the load at 50 & 100yds. I was impressed to say the least as it shot a 1.1" 4 shot group at 100 & a bug hole group at 50 with no load work up. I'm not sure where I should be but the velocity was 2540' with an ES of 24. Recoil was pretty mild & I didn't even turn the brake on. I'm wanting to a winter project to accurize this & probably upgrade the optics. This will be a steel banger & Wisconsin bean field pistol. I'm looking for suggestions on optics & the best way to accurize, bedding, maybe even reconfiguring the stock if needed, trigger work or replacement ect. This is my first hunting pistol so those with more experience, your knowledge & input will be much appreciated. Thanks Gents! Kevin
