Savages shoot great,the Remington 783 is another great economy rifle.

At times you can pick up an older 700, 788, or 721 Remington, model 70 Winchester, etc for a great deal.

As far as scopes go, many of us shoot low power scopes either 4X or fixed 6X and I have never felt under scoped at an animal I was shooting at under 400 meters, just make sure you know how to shoot before taking those longer shots..

Most animals are killed well within 200 meters so don't buy into the big power, turret type scopes, you won't need them.

Exactly 3 by 9 is as high as I would go on the beginning gun ,are a 4 to 6 fix power
