Savage Arms is firmly cementing their brand atop the rifle industry with their quality barrels, famous AccuTrigger, and affordable packages. Their latest introduction does not deviate from that reputation. The Model 11/111 DOA Hunter XP is a culmination of products from the Federal/ATK family in an affordable package.

The base rifle utilizes Savage’s time-tested 110 action. It also employs their “thread-in, zero-tolerance headspace system” which is responsible for a lot of the accuracy. You get a button-rifled barrel and it would not be complete without the AccuTrigger. Some more simple features are the black synthetic stock, blued finish, and detachable box magazine.

Now, onto the hardware. This package is mounted with Weaver Grand Slam rings. These are steel and have 4 Torx screws per ring ensuring a strong, tight hold for optics. A Bushnell Trophy XLT with DOA drop-compensating reticle is the centerpiece of the package. This reticle assists shooters by more predictably marking yardages out to 600 yards.
