Savage 116, which one is it? - Page 2 - The Firearms Forum

damn. Not really a use for a lefty, Im waaaay right handed. I suppose the action would be useful for a heavy bench gun build, lemme know either way. I might still be interested...

I have a Savage 116 stainless in .30-06 Sprng. that I bought alone because the advertised rifle/scope combo had a crappy $50 Simmons scope on it. Had a bad experience with a similar scope on another rifle & didn't want to repeat it.

Put a Bushnell Elite 4200 2.5-10x40mm on it & it gives me < 1/2" groups with IMR-4064 & the new Barnes 165 grain TTSX bullets.

Too bad the combo wasn't offered with a scope in the quality range of a Bushnell Trophy......a lot of scope & easy on the wallet.

Not right sure as to the exact $ amount, but when I got mine (like new in box) they had a price of $512 on it.
I didnt pay that for it as I did some swapping to clean out the gun cabinet a bit.
