Hey all first post and new to the predator hunting world.
I am in the market for a new 22-250. I have narrowed things down to the Savage 11/111 Hunter XP or the trophy hunter XP. I have never used the accutrigger and it looks freakish to me so I don't know whether it's worth buying the Trophy version or not. I have read the reviews of the accu on here as well and it seems a 50/50 love hate relationship. I also am leery of the Nikon BDC recticle as I am used to normal crosshairs.
Can anyone tell me how good the scope is on the regular hunter XP?(it's a Bushnell 3-9x40). If the scope is decent I may get the regular hunter as it is $100 cheaper and if I don't like the trigger I can use that $ for an aftermarket one.
I wish these guns were sold without the scopes so I could buy what I want but this can get me by until next season.
The Axis is sold without scopes but read too many negative reviews on the milk jug plastic stock.
I have a Savage 110 7mm Rem Mag and it shoots well thus the reason for solely going with another Savage.
Last pestering question is I am 60 miles from a stocked gun dealer and nobody has a 22-250 in stock. It looks relatively simple to buy one online. I am considering Bud's Gun Shop and Able Ammo if anyone has past experience. I see several complaints from Bud's.
Thank you all for your help on my first post!
BTW I am from SW Indiana...........
