Lighting conditions were clear to partly cloudy, with winds variable between 3 and 10 mph on the partially enclosed range.įor our test ammos, we chose three different bullet weights and shapes from three manufacturers. We shot both guns side-by-side at the Tomball Gun Club north of Houston, starting the early afternoon of an 80-degree day. Our specific package was the Remington 710. Remington tops its gun with a factory-equipped one-piece, aluminum alloy scope base, aluminum alloy 1-inch rings and a bore-sighted Bushnell 3-9X Sharpshooter riflescope with 40mm objective lens and a Multi-X reticle. Remington rolled out its 710 package in 2001. 16326, is the model we tested against the Remington 710. All of the Savages come with a Simmons 3-9×40 riflescope, a two-piece scope mount, and see-thru lens covers. Also in the lineup is a 111FCXP3, a detachable-magazine model that is the least expensive package Savage offers at $424. For its part, Savage currently offers quite a few packages, including the short-action hardwood-stocked 10GXP3 and 10GLXP3 (left handed), $556 with AccuTrigger a long-action hardwood 110GXP3 and 110GLXP3 with AccuTrigger, $556 a short-action polymer-stocked youth gun, the 11FYXP3, $519 the 11FXP3 and 111FXP3, $534 and the 16FXP3 and 116FXP3 stainless guns, $618. Savage introduced its 110-series package guns in 1989 and followed up with the 111-series package guns in 1994.
Of the two companies, Savage has been packaging longer than Remington, at least in these current configurations. Because they come scoped and bore-sighted, it’s reasonable to assume these packages can get nimrod on the paper the first shot, and for many shooters, leaping the whole optics/bases/boresighting hassle would be worth more money, not less. Presumably, these ready-to-go hunting packages are for beginning hunters or those with little experience from which to draw, and who would thus have trouble assembling an adequate rifle setup for the field. Both Remington and Savage make more than a few lower-cost rifles, but the two companies really try to shave prices on package guns - complete gun-and-scope combos you can buy over the counter ready to shoot.
