Savage model 111

[Rooster52]

Who owns one of these rifles ? Any problems ?

 

[warmer]

Owned mine for15 years. Zero trouble.

I have a 112 and a 111 with the accutriggers. Great rifles in MHO. No issues.

 

[Rooster52]

Picked up a used one today ,left hand with Nikon scope. Probably will sell the scope and go for one of my Leupolds.

 

[JohnCushman]

Love mine

 

[Rooster52]

For got to say ,my rifle is in 7mm Remington magnum.

 

[Rooster52]

When I get a chance ,I need to try and adjust the Accutrigger.Seems a little heavy to me.

I bought one last year in .30-06, rebarreled it in .338-06 using a Shaw kit from Brownell's (easiest rebarrel ever). Good shooter and the Accutrigger is nice once you get used to it. I had to fill the plastic stock with spray foam to quiet it a bit.

I have had good luck with mine

 

[Rooster52]

Good Idea on the spray foam..I may also paint the stock camo or something.

Mine is a Stevens 200 in 270, made from Savage's older parts. My only upgrade is Timney trigger. It's plain Jane, weighs under 7 lb w Leupold 2.5x8, and shoots various factory ammo MOA. It carries and shoots like a dream. I grab my heavy Mark X in 7 RM less and less since getting the Stevens.

I was looking for a truck gun and this will fit the need. Plan on putting on a VX I Leupold either 3-9x40 or 2-7x33.Also use for elk hunting this year once I find a load it likes.Always have liked the Savage line of rifles.

 

[JohnCushman]

I had to put a scope rail on it for my VX2 because of the way the scope fit didn't line up to the way the bases were to the rifle on my 111.

 

[Rooster52]

Thanks for the info.

I own several savage rifles and love them. My favorite is my 7mm model 116 with the accu trigger and accu stock. The load I use is 63 gr of IMR 4831 topped by a 160 gr Nosler Partition bullet. Have used this load for 40 years and it has always worked for me, even have killed 2 moose with it. Savages tend to be very accurate.

I traded a crossbow for the 111 in .270, never had an issue. I sold it to a buddy and he still uses it with zero issues.

 

[Gut Shot]

Any of them made after 1990 should be good to go. Before 1990 I'd pass, unless you like tinkering with old guns to make them work right.

I've got one in 30'06 and it's never had an issue. Great gun s for the money.

 

[Rooster52]

This rifle I bought is a newer model. I have a used Leupold VX I that is going on it soon.Also thinking of doing a paint job on the stock,just deciding the camo pattern I want.Ihave camo painted several rifle stocks.

Only problem I have is I want another one...
