Guest lilcrackshot Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I decided since all you guys like Savage so much that I will try out one of their package deals and see how I like it. I need to decide between the 110GXP3 and 111FXP3 and can't decide on a caliber. What caliber should I get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: Going to try them out What are you going to hunt? If it is just deer sized game all you need is a 30-06. Either rifle will be fine. I think the only difference is the stock right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: Going to try them out They both come in 25-06 Rem, 270 Win, 30-06 Spfld, 7mm Rem Mag, 300 Win Mag, and the 111FXP3 also offers the 338 Win Mag. The only difference between the guns is the stock. Any of the chamberings will work just fine. If you don't have a good 30-06 class rifle, it is hard to beat. Don't rule out the 10GXP3 and 11GXP3 which are the short action version of the same gun. That increases the chambering options to include the 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 243 Win, 308 Win, 300 WSM, 270 WSM, 7mm WSM, 204 Ruger. For a deer rifle I would eliminate the 204, 223, and 22-250, but the rest are fully capable cartridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: Going to try them out I'd almost swear by my 25-06 for those targets, and you don't get much recoil either. Good for the flinch factor. JM2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
