Good deals on Savage Hog Hunter .308?

[jeff43]

Anybody saw one of these at a good deal?Cheapest one I've found is $423.00 at Bud's, free shipping.

[rugerla1]

That's about as good as I've seen lately.

[jeff43]

That's what I kind of thought.

[Handsome Rob]

Yep, that's what I paid for mine. I looked for a coon's age & couldn't find a used one for less than Bud's.
Incidentally, you'll LOVE it! :) Edited November 23, 2014 by robtattoo

Did you scope yours?

[jeff43]

Was wonder what height rings to get if I got one. Using a 3x9x40 Nikon Prostaff scope.

[Handsome Rob]

I did. It's wearing a Simmons 4-12 44mag on a rail with QD mounts.
I've only put 22 shots through it since it arrived. 10 to sight in the irons, the rest to zero the scope, but it's such a cool little rifle I can't put it down. It's coming to the woods with me tomorrow.
Oh, I went with the QD mounts rather that see-thrus because:
A.) see thru mounts are just the worst invention ever &
B.) I'm only ever use the irons if I smash the scope, which is a VERY real possibility where & how I hunt pigs! Edited November 24, 2014 by robtattoo

Ps.
If you want to try one before you buy one, you're more than welcome to take mine to the range for a day.

Just bring it back!

What kind of QD mounts ? Are they expensive?

[Handsome Rob]

I actually went with some really cheap ones from Leapers/UTG.
I think they were about $30 from Optics Planet.

[jeff43]

Well.... I ordered one today .These takes the round rear mount and not the flat don't they?

[Handsome Rob]

Yessir. Cheapest I found was, again, optics planet.

[jeff43]

Thanks!

[jeff43]

What's a good muzzle brake for one of these, and best place to buy it?

they have them for a little more if you want to check one out before you buy.  I bought mine there and it was < 500 out the door
