Hey guys! This is my first post! I tried to do some searching but could not find what I was looking for! I wanted to get into rifle shooting and ended up buying this rifle. It is my first Savage and I am pleased with it. However I have some questions. The model in question seems to have been taken down from the Savage website and replaced with just the Model 11 Trophy Hunter. The version online is the upgrade from mine which has a Nikon scope. Mine has a very cheap Bushnell scope.

I do not know that much about rifles. As I understand, this is a short action and comes with a Bushnell 3-9x40 scope. Its very cheap and most of the things I found online indicate it broke after shooting anywhere from 10-40 rounds. My reticle already appears to be slightly off balance after 15 rounds.

Ive ordered Vortex 1" scope rings, a Nikon Prostaff 4-12x40mm BDC scope and what I believe is the correct scope base. I was not sure if I could just replace the scope rings that came with the rifle, but a review online stated that he had to buy the base as they were not spaced correctly for this scope.

This is the base I ordered:

I just want to confirm that what I have ordered will work fine. Its through Amazon so returns and exchanges are not a big deal!

Thanks for the help guys!
