Savage 11/111 Hog Hunter

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge pertaining to the Savage 11/111 hog hunter? Is it drilled and tapped for a scope? Performance? Any info would be appreciated!

The Savage model 11/111 hog hunter is just like the rest of their bolt action rifles they offer, its ment to be a good light weight accurite gun for hunting. I dont have the perticular rifle you are asking about but i owned a Savege model 10/110 which it shares the same action with, yes it can be accurite but its only as good as the ammo you feed it and the shooter does their part. It is drilled and tapped for a scope just like all the rest of the new bolt actions that are made today, you might have just not asked that because most rifles have that from the factory now a days.
All in all its just a lighter version of a 10/110.
Good Shooting.

Thank you for the response. I have an older 110 without the accu-trigger in .223 . For the money, I think Savage makes a very accurate bolt weapon out of the box. I was told it was due to the fact that they make their own barrels, or the type of barrels. I don't know. I do know that with it being in a John Plaster Super Varmint stock, with a Leupold Vari-X II 6.5-20 power, I can usually put a clean round through a taped dime on a paper target, benchrest, about 8/10 times at 100 meters. No work on the trigger.
I was just wondering about the tapping for the scope because it comes with iron sights.

I like this rifle - just got one. Great trigger, what's not to like?
Main asset is the threaded bbl, of course. My Phantom threads right on.
Will do some test firing soon.
