I just posted this in the rimfire section so im reposting it. First day!! I tell ya

Hello there im brand new to rifle shooting and to the forum. I shoot competitive shotgun sports now. I do have a ruger 10/22 that i have modded everything but the bolt but as far as big boy rifles i made my first purchase today. I was struggling between a remington and savage but i went with the savage hog hunter in .308. So i guess that is the model 11? I bought the gun because im interested in bench shooting and it had the look i like and of course the trigger. And secret be told my buddy is 700 only and couldn't believe i bought mine. But i had to go against the grain and want to out shoot his gun to prove him wrong again. < Shotgun brands! haha
Anyways let me tell you my plans ill be going to get but before so i would love some input. Im thinking the warne QD rings and warne bases. And either a 4x12 prostaff bdc or mildot. Or some input on a good scope no more than 200$ would help!
My plan with this gun was i needed a gun for whitetail but also wanted to try the bench shooting. I figured this gun would allow me the chance to try my hand at that before building a dialed in specific setup at which time this would be turned more into my game gun, if that makes since.

Any info on extras i should look into for bench shooting or perts for my gun would be great. Also any info from you pros on my model gun as far as is my action the same with other models or anything? Sorry for rambling and showing my true newbie colors. Thanks Cody
