[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1444925, member: 32525"] My very first deer rifle was a Savage 111 in .270 Winchester when I was 26 and just learning to hunt with my friends. I didn’t grow up hunting and only had a model 25 Marlin .22 from the time I was 10 until I bought that Savage, so my learning curve was steep and that Savage was priced right for a guy who didn’t know the difference between a $300 rifle and a $10k rifle. And it came with a scope...and shot Remington Core-Lokt ammo under MOA...all for about $300. I shot many deer and hogs with that rifle before I decided I liked the aesthetics and bolt feel of the Rem700. Out of the box, the Savage required nothing and my seasoned hunting buddies were beyond impressed with how well it shot. I kind of miss that rifle now. I have several Remingtons now that I love but all have required work to get to shooting where they are now. I’ve made very good friends with my gunsmith as a result, so I’m thankful for that. Still, the Savage tugs at my heart a bit from time to time, so I just bought another one- .338 Lapua 110 FCP with the HS Precision stock. If it’s half as accurate as that old .270win was, I’ll be beyond happy with it. [/QUOTE]
