Alexis, a young deer hunter from Missouri, agreed to help me review a Savage Arms’ 11 Trophy Hunter-XP last summer.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the gun for the first time, and a little smile crinkled at the corners of her mouth. Savage Arms’ 11 Trophy Hunter-XP, with its finish of Muddy Girl camo, appealed to Alexis, but it became obvious that she knew more about guns than to let the package sway her judgment before working with it. She needed to be convinced of the rifle’s performance before she took it out in the field for deer season this year in the Ozarks of Missouri.
