$300 .308 The Savage Trophy Hunter XP
Вставка

- I have been looking for a cheap beater bolt action .308 that I can use and abuse. There are quite a few options on the market today including the Savage Axis, Ruger American, Mossberg Patriot, Remington 770, Winchester XPR, T/C Venture, Mossberg 100 ATR, Marlin X7 Etc....
They start around $300 and can be found in scoped combo packages of varying quality for a few dollars more.
I had been interested in picking up a Ruger Model 77 Hawkeye but have never seen one lower than $600 in .308. I decided to wait until I found a good deal.
Then I came across this Savage 11/111 Trophy Hunter XP in .308 which means it's actually a model 11. The Trophy Hunter is a combo package that comes bundled with a Nikon Scope. It is a cheap Nikon and doesn't even have a model associated with it but it is pretty clear and has .308 bullet drops built into the reticle. The biggest part they cheaped out on is the scope rings which are admittedly cheap looking but I took them off and locktited everything and snugged them up and so far have had not issues. I haven't shot it enough to know whether they will hold up with tons of use.
In keeping with the cheap theme I threw on a $3 pink clearance sling I found at Tractor Supply and am Shooting $12 Perfecta .308 from walmart. Though I have also shot the $9 Tula steel case with no issues in this rifle.

I have this same rifle that I won through a local sportsman club for a 10 dollar ticket. I have shot 3deer with it so far and the furthest any went was about 50 yards and he was on a dead run. I love this gun.
Got mine for 350 barely used. She shoots. Worked up an accurate load I'd feel comfortable taking moose with up here in Alaska. Now working on a slightly lighter load. No frills but so far very accurate.
I own same package, (minus the pink sling) ; ) Came with scope mounted. Had inconsistent groups at 100 yds. Noticed that the 2 pc scope rails were both loose. Bought a 1 pc rail, started from scratch with Blue thread lok on all screws. Lapped scope rings with a wheeler kit and tourqed everything to specs. Lightened up accu trigger to 3 lbs ish and added a beartooth comb riser to stock. I paid $500 for mine thru Buds and now have $600 into it. You did awesome at $300. I'm considering shortening the stock, but after 500 + rounds thru it, I have myself an awesome shooter of a deer rifle after retiring an old Remington 742 30-06 that jammed on me after shooting a nice buck last year. Hunted with that hand me down from pa for years ! Ready for a new chapter of bagging whitetails with the savage ! You did awesome at $300, great gun !
I have an old ‘91 110 in .308. Never has failed me and gets the job done.
That was a good deal for the package. I got the exact one like yours from Buds last fall, after Savage rebate it costs me $374.
That's a score in itself. Right now there is a sale/rebate to get the savage scout rifle for $416.

Nice find! I've been looking for a scoped bolt gun in .308 to complement our Winchester 94. I handload for 30-30 so I plan to use the same bullets and powder for "reduced recoil" .308 loads
I have made some reduced power .30-30 and .30-06 using unique that were like shooting .22. Lot's of fun.

My latest update, I got a Marlin XS7 in .308 and love it so far
This is one of my two main rifles. The other being a 30-30 Marlin. Plus a couple of shotguns and pistols.
Didn't know savage made a pistol. What caliber do they come in ? Semi auto or revolver ?
That's a pretty sling ya got there boy
Thank you for the video. Thinking of getting a savage 111 in .270. Left handed for me and daughters to shoot. Nice gun.
Thanks for watching
The Axis II has the adjustable AccuTrigger and a fairly good scope for hunting, although the rings only have one screw or bolt per side. The scope is bore sighted at the factory, some need little adjustment at 25 yards and others need a lot of adjustment. Note: for a given caliber, look up trajectories for your bullet type. I set mine for 200 yards.
I love Trophy Hunter! I agree the scope and rings and bases are really cheap. I’d highly recommend to replace them with a good dependable scope and some good steel rings and bases. Gun is super accurate and really smooth! Only downside is the clip but for the money it’s an awesome gun!!
Savage I feel are great built gun accurate and durable. I've shot savage for years amazing guns. People down talk them bc they r cheap but I'll tell u they will shoot with the best for a lower price
Usually a die hard Ruger owner. I own Rugers, but had to try the 5R Rifling that Savage is doing with their barrels ! Seems like a potential consistent shooter !
Very nice pick up with no tax to pay to boot...Good vid and good stuff...
I was very lucky to have run into the seller while out ammo shopping. As ever, thanks for watching!
Thanks for explaining the model nomenclature
You made a good deal for sure. I love mine.
308 is a good round and savage puts out some nice rifles.
I am sure glad there is no waiting period in Idaho .
I was suprised when I looked at pistols . I was able to pick one out and take it home that day
Living the dream
james ollom yep. I love idaho.
Cda/pf area
Also from Idaho around Cda .st. Marie's area
Savage makes great rifles. I have a Axis in 223 rem. it's very accurate. Got it at Walmart for $257.
For the price you can't beat them. And they have gotten all the competition to start making good budget models as well so it's helped out all shooters in the long run.
Gun&ShotTV I replaced the factory stock with a thumbhole stock from Boyds.
This is my meat gun... its a no frills basic 308 with a nikon 3x9 BDC.... It aint pretty, but it puts meat in my freezer.
That's all that matters.
It's not a bad looking rifle and for the price, it can still outshoot most people. The only real knock I can give it is that the scope mounts and rings could use an upgrade. And I am certain with an upgrade in scopes, can max out the range one would want from a 308
I didn’t think 308 was needed until I saw a 700lb bear at my bedroom window. Lol then I realized caliber matters XD
Holy cow. That would've been a hair raising experience LOL
I used to think that co2 bb gun will stop an attacker until i saw a junkie walking to me like nothing happened after i shoot like 6 bbs to its stomach lol
I have the same gun in 30-06, i like it but this week im getting a one piece steel mount new steel rings and new scope. It come with a weaver scope & alluminum rings & mounts. I have had issues with it not holding zero after a few shots, so i think the scope isnt bad but im going to get a new one for a change and give the weaver to my Son, the old bases and rings are going to the scrap pile. Bought mine here for 780$ out the door with a case bipod and 4 boxes of ammo & a sling from Cabellas. I think you got a smokin deal buddy cause it really is great hunting gun, and you wont get upset at all the scratches that it will get.
Its got to have new bas
es and rings though if you actually hunt with it...
Good video, Chris.
I've been looking for a Ruger Hawkeye 270, I'll probably get a Marlin instead because those Rugers can get expensive :)
What did Hunt's tomato's do to you?Lol Nice gun and a good price.It's good to have a gun you don't fuss over and still get the job done.
I've been very impressed with the quality for what I paid. I know that many people prefer wood stocks on hunting rifles but I would rather have plastic on a gun that's more likely to get banged around and wet when used as intended.
I got a reminton 308 boltaction youth modle with a nicon scope. Its a beast
Right place right time. I’m jealous
TCF rifles ran a deal for great bolt action rifles all under $200 after rebate most the year!
Your intro is cool as hell
I have the older 111 in 30-06 its got a built in magazine with no acu trigger...great gun tho
I've hunted with savage rifles all my life n have taken down several deer n hogs at various yardage with no problems, Savage is truely a good rifle ,,,,
Especially for what they sell for. They pretty much forced the other major players to come out with a competing budget rifle.
Frank Medrano love them
I got that gun for Christmas! Are you liking it so far? How much recoil does it have?
I have a savage axis and doesnt have a plastic magazine and my bolt release is on top by the bolt so i may have a later model idk and not sure what u have there ive never seen that setup before tbh
One of best rifles for your money
Yes the stock is shifty but once dialed in with a better scope and rings, mine is dead accurate.
I got me one few years bsck i believe its a upgraded stevens instead of regular savage 10
Savage is what I've used for hunting rifles my entire life
the reason Im here is because i just put 40 dollars down on one in a pawn shop for 250 $ total ! Its a lefty bolt I have 3 righty bolts but they are .270 and 30.06 ! i cant wait to get it out ant get it ready for next year !
Ive also seen savage rifle shoot accurately out to 1300 yards but dont mean i could take a shot like that 😆
I got the exact one a week ago and love how accurate it is. Is your bolt a little wobbly when it's all the way back? Mine does that and I'm thinking about getting Savage to send me another bolt ..if that's not normal.
Mine wobbles a bit as well. Some wobble is going to be normal to allow for easier cycling/bolt removal. The bolt is really only going to be locked up when a round is chambered and the locking lugs are engaging the receiver.
In this price range it’s going to be normal. Usually the more expensive rifle you buy, the tighter tolerances you get.
Ya mine isnt the tightest either, as long as it locks up tight a little wobble fully back doesnt matter at all, actually preferable in the dead winter, here in north Ontario Canada if its tight it WILL seize up solid with frost in bout 2 minutes, no one wants that..
You are right, you haven’t shot much but I like watching you anyway.
If you want to hit the target better, get someone to show your how to shoot like a pro.
Your breathing, pulling the trigger easy without letting the gun jerk & missing your target.
Training plus a lot of distance targets training will help!
A 308 will shoot further than you shot -accurately. I don’t like bolt action but some people do.
I had a 270 savage & it kicked more than others for some reason.
I shot a 30-06 that was built by a SWAT TEAM LEADER/Trainer.
The first time I shot it, I hit the center of the target twice arm 100 yards.
Make some more videos for you are Amusing to listen to & watch.
Have a great day!!
That scope is not a cheap scope in my opinion I have the exact same one on my savage axis accu trigger 22/250 and I'm shooting 500+ yards no problem it's just how you operate it in my opinion these savages are fucking awesome guns and take the abuse and my 22/250 will out shoot my dads 308 custom build long range gun
No issues with the scope thus far. And I'm pretty sure it's decent or Nikon wouldn't have lifetime warrantied it. Just seems like one of those to good to be true things. But at $300 with 3 boxes of ammo I think I got a screaming deal even if the scope was a $30 tasco. I'm impressed that this whole package only sold for $600 new.
I have heard it is a prostaff its just not branded.
It looks just like my Nikon Buckmasters II with BDC. That would be a $100 scope.
Bryton Schenfisch I have that exact same scope on my Marlin 30-30 200 yards is not an issue for me
I currently have my Savage AXIS II XP 30-06 and love it but want to get a .308 or 7mm-08 or a 6.5 creedmore
Joz Sports How would you compare the 308 with 30-06 ?
I like .308 because it will do most everything and is easy to get cheap steel case or surplus plinking ammo, Other calibers are hard to find practice ammo in
Guy, the .308 is less recoil, a short action, a little flatter but the same .30 caliber bullet, oh and a little faster than the 30-06, I own both calibers now, I ended up with a Marlin X7 short action in .308 and love it, I had to tighten some screws on it but love it
All 4 are excellent calibers I like my 308 bc ammo is cheaper less recoil than an 06 but the 6.5 and 7mm-08 dont recoil much but ammo is more expensive but more effective in some ways
What a nice guy :)
Was the pink sling included?...or was that your personal touch?
I actually have this in 6.5 Creedmoor! Its a good accurate gun.
They are a great cheap way to try out different calibers if you are on the fence
Man of Poo Poo of Man gotta love the 6.5 creedmore I've shot out to 700 with it !
Man of Poo Poo of Man
i was gonna get it but it felt to cheap to me. didnt like the padding on the end and how chesp the stock feels overall it looks badass i'd get it if it was heavier
I really wanted a Ruger 77 in .308 but this was half the price
Gun&ShotTV I bought the mossberg patriot in walnut. That thing is my baby, the vortex crossfire it comes with is really clear too. but I will upgrade to a stronger magnification for it and put the older one on something else later
do the paperwork and everything??
i think you just like the pink sling
What kind of scope
savage trophy hunter is a 600 dollar riffle new.
But aside from the scope it's essentially the $300 axis.
Johnny Wolford you don't know how to shop, then
The scope looks like the one i got it was 175 i havent had any issues with my scope
I found one for 400, it was in “clearance” original price was 650. Now all I see is them for like 300-400 give or take
@@mitchmckinley2195 Great deal, I got mine for 490 comes in this week can't wait to sight the scope in and change the rings
Good deer killer
Waiting period and paperwork for a bolt rifle? WHere on earth are you from?
Illinois
You're a pretty adventurous guy, going into a gunshop, meet a stranger, make a bid on a rifle you know nothing about...you're a pretty adventurous guy.
Usually, I don't make eye contact with anyone and the weapon I've targeted to buy know the exact price which is much lower than the price the gunshop is trying to sell it at.
Anyhu, glad that impulsive transaction worked out for you.
Well obviously buying anything second hand has risks. Guy had a Foid card and the original reciept from cabela's so it wasn't really sketchy
Hey Gun&Shot Guy watch out for this Curry&Raisins guy/gay, he keeps telling you you are PRETTY !
Curry & Raisins
Whats the risk its well worth 300 $
Thats a fine little rifle. Perfect deer rifle. Some folks hunt with their rifles. Come on 3 boxes of ammo a new deer rifle and a good one too. With a little 3x9 nikon. I'd swap the rings and spray paint it and hunt hard for years with it. I sometimes still use a old savage 7mm mag thats over 25 yrs old still shoots 3/4" with hunting loads at 150 yrds.
i thought that the model 110 was only called 110 because it cost 110 dollars in the late 50s when it came out new. was supposedly gonna be like 95 bucks but it why up in price to 109.99 and this was named model 110. i may be totally wrong. my source is from a gun review website, forgot which one.
I know the model 11 is the short action and the model 111 is the long action. Not sure if price is how it started.
Gun&ShotTV 3 links to websites all say the same thing. I guess the the model 110 was named after the price. Who knows, maybe the rest of the models inherited the naming of their models because of this rifle.
Looks like they changed it in 1998.
Here is the info about the numbering scheme from Wikipedia.
In 1998, Savage re-engineered the short action Model 110 and adopted a
new model numbering scheme to differentiate short action models from the
long actions. Thus, the short action Model 110 became the Model 10,
while the long action model remained the Model 110. The Model 110 is the
basis for the entire line Savage centerfire bolt-action rifles, including the Models 11/111, 12, 14/114, 16/116, and Model 210 bolt-action shotgun as well as the Stevens Model 200. The series is available in a wide array of chamberings, from .204 Ruger to .338 Winchester Magnum, in order to suit the needs of almost any shooter.
Thanks for commenting it's a neat bit of trivia that I probably wouldn't have learned otherwise
Gun&ShotTV i also learned a thing or two thanks ☺
Honestly... An SKS is way more impressive for $350ish. (Nowadays) That's a nice gun though. I garuntee it'll put meat in a fridge. 👍 A .308 is NO joke and it will put any mammal down on earth with a well placed Shot!
Where exactly is this $300? I have looked at numerous retailers and have yet to find it below $380
Like I state in the video I scored a deal on a LNIB used one
now package is $500 to $600 +
Where did u get ut for 300$ even the lowest online is 489$
I explained that in the video
Do the paperwork? Person to person. I’m confused?
Some states still require a paper between private parties. I always get a bill of sale and do a hot guns check. My state dosent require it but covering your own behind dosent hurt
savage are great
Does it come with scope?
yes the Trophy Hunter XP packge comes with a Nikon scope
It does come with a Nikon 3x9x40 BDC Riflescope. If I had to do over, I would buy the rifle without scope and add or go with the Nikon P-308 4x12 x40 Scope. But as a package, the 3x9 is nice. Savage must not use thread lok on the scope rails or rings, so I would start from scratch with the mounting process and apply tread lok to screws and torque all screws to spec . Or have someone who knows help.
bisa kah saya mendapatkan senjata ini.sedangkan saya di indonesia.
Where in Wisconsin are you from?
Not from #sconnie
@@GunAndShotTV Not intended to be a dig. Just based on your accent, sounds like you're from WI. MN or IA maybe??? I'm from WI and my accent gives it away.
Do they have a binary trigger for this?
Just kidding!
The accutrigger is actually pretty decent if you drop it all the way down.
I paid a shit ton More for mine
It's a good gun my daddy has one it will put the ass on the ground and I'm pissed with Savage bout that clip it's kind of cheap
Yes the mag is cheap feeling but it makes a clear distinction between the budget and full price gun lines so I can see why they keep it that way
三百元感觉好便宜 。。。。买来玩 加一个红点能打 到野猪么
这是美元。这不是你想要点上红点的步枪类型。
三百美元贵么 不觉得 一个月我也赚六七千 可以买很多把 ， 我觉得装红点比较容易瞄准
在美国，300美元的价格很便宜。我会说步枪的平均价格约为700美元。当然，您可以支付更多，更高的质量。大多数美国人的收入中位数允许这是可以承受的。
Let me know. I'll give you $310 for it. lol
I think I'll hang onto it. But you can find some good deals on these packages used if you look. they were so cheap to begin with that many people bought them and started hunting and upgraded and sold them off. For my needs I don't think an upgrade would get shot enough to justify having it.
what no background check u better watch out now, u could get somebody in trouble
Private selling is legal btw in america any way
That was a great deal for you !! But get better sling..... FOR SURE...!!!! LOL
I ended up finding a bit nicer sling on clearance for $5 that's on it now. The pink ones were $3 so I bought a bunch of them, in the end a cheap sling is a cheap sling so I could care what color it is.
I had a savage trophy hunter in 243 cal and traded it in to heip pay for a ruger ranch rifle and have regreted it ever since. Enjoy your gun and I was just kidding you about the sling. Have a good one.!
I just buy any sling I can find if it's on clearance for less than $5. Tractor supply clears them out often. If I'm actually taking one in the field I try to swap a decent sling on it beforehand but most of my guns just are used for plinking anyways.
Would you go hunting with this gun?
Most definitely. That's what it's designed for. Obviously I would zero the scope at 100 yards first and make sure the BDC reticle marks were on at longer ranges for the ammo I was using. It's a nice light rifle and would be an easy gun to lug around out in the field.
music is so damn loud compared to the rest of the video.
You can not do better than a savage. Nor can you do better than a 308.
Thanks for watching
Unless you go Mauser style action in a 30-06. But that is a given. 😘
If it works who cares about the color
Agreed
Gun&ShotTV what kind of scope
Dude. If it says Nikon and Nikon is the brand name then yes it is branded.
Crack me up.
I think he meant unknown model but thanks for the grammar policing. Good to know your on patrol. 👍
It's OK but it's polymer stock.
Prefer the classic wood. Thanks for the video.
U don't have the land to hunt? U dont need ur own land to huny
My ass $300
Why do people do this, is it really just compensating for something?
Your picture says it all 😂
Because they like it. Try it and you might. But first put down the soy latte and crocks and get a black coffee and some boots.
@@michaelc4060 I’m sorry you’re not getting ladies, maybe if you wore more crocks you’d know the life 😤
Sounds like you dont realize what you have. Sad.
Ditto.
Clearly you live in one of the People's Republics that have been proliferating since the Bubba Clinton years and only became more numerous during the 2008-2016 reign of The Anointed One thus the paper work required for a private transfer. On top of all that, seeing how far Savage has sunk since the day of the Model 99, of which I own two I'll avoid the XP in any caliber and if I ever feel the "need" go with a Ruger "American" which at least here in the People's Republic of Maryland sell for the same kind of money.
Illinois has been a turd in the punchbowl and required a FOID/bill of sale since well before Clinton, starting in 1968.
It's a $300 dollar gun that works just as well as a Ruger American. I keep looking for a nice 99 Lever action but have only see decent prices on ones in moon calibers.
Yup, 8 min in. 👎
Savage magazines are junk. pay a little more and get a Ruger American or Remington.
They are definitely made to hit a price point. The baseplate and catch are plastic. But it still runs 100% and it's a $300 gun so I'm not going to complain that loudly about it.
I got a Remington 700 mountain rifle. Left the 4 shot magazine loaded in ammunition safe for a year. It was trash when I went to use it the next year. I have 1 savage and several Remington bolt actions... after them knowingly putting faulty safety in them and if you don’t know about it look up CNBC Remington documentary... I’ll never buy another Remington..
Savage 110 is more $ than a RA. Yes, the Ruger mags are better. Action?? Cant say. As for Remington I would like an older 700 BDL in 30-06. Beautiful gun.
New Remington? I'll pass. Ruger M77 is a great rifle but more money.
