Savage Model 11 Trophy Hunter XP .243 Win. Bolt-Action Rifle with Nikon 3-9x40 BDC Scope
The Savage Model 11 Trophy Hunter XP pairs a proven short-action rifle with a factory-mounted Nikon 3-9x40 BDC scope, offering a ready-to-hunt package straight from the box.

The Trophy Hunter XP series was designed to give shooters a complete, optics-ready rifle without the guesswork. This package retains the original factory pairing of a Nikon 3-9x40 scope on one-inch rings, ensuring proper eye relief and alignment.
The 22-inch sporter barrel is button-rifled for consistent bore dimensions and coupled to a short-action receiver, optimizing rigidity and weight balance for the .243 Win. chambering. A 1:9.25" right-hand twist stabilizes a broad range of bullet weights popular with deer and varmint hunters.
Savage’s AccuTrigger lets the user fine-tune pull weight while maintaining a built-in safety blade that blocks the sear until the trigger is deliberately pressed. A two-position tang safety sits directly behind the bolt handle for intuitive operation.
The matte black synthetic stock is dual pillar-bedded to the receiver, adding stiffness and repeatable accuracy. Molded grip panels and a soft recoil pad improve control and comfort, while integral sling swivel studs simplify field carry.
A detachable 4-round magazine speeds reloads and allows safe unloading without cycling rounds through the action—an appreciated feature for hunters transitioning between stands or vehicles.
