Default Savage 111

Had mine in a 300 win mag came with the simmons blazer 3x9. rifle was outstanding out of the box although the 6.5lb with the kick from a 300 felt like getting jabbed in the shoulder by a bare knuckle heavyweight fighter. The Simmons 3x9 was crap and the recoil seperated the reticle after about 60 rnds. First deer was taken out beyond 300 yds with a thru and thru dropped it within 50 ft. Accurate and reliable for the money but put decent glass on it. The only reason I sold it was to put better glass (Bushnell 3200 Elite 10 x 40) on my Savage 12FV (308 Win) and now i'm consistent in the killzone at 400+ with the kick of a 223.
