I have a 110GX in 25.06 and it's a very accurate rifle. The trigger is a little heavy but because of concerns about lawsuits that's common on rifles now. The wood isn't as pretty as some of the guns in my safe but as far as function, it's a great gun. My advice would be to get the Savage and the best scope you can afford. The gun is only as good as the optics.

Is a Savage Arms 110GXP3 a good hunting rifle or just a waste of money?

If that's the right Savage for you, then go for it. With a good scope, it should be able to shoot fairly well, but as another poster said, they don't put a lot of work into their wood stocks. If you want to tighten your groups up a little more, getting a good bedding job would certainly help. For the $600 I assume you're looking at a new one. All the new centerfire Savage rifles are now being produced with the Accu-Trigger, so while the old triggers were stiff unpleasant, the new models all come with a very nice adjustable trigger. They're an excellent rifle to shoot, and unless you're going to sit in your tree stand looking at the wood, the Savage should suit any hunting role it's placed in, caliber permitting.

A quality rifle AND a scope are pretty hard to come by for $600. You might try the used gun market. The Savage rifle is a pretty good buy for the money.

Savage rifles may look rather no-frills, but the action, if stiff, is strong and reliable, and the barrels are very, very accurate. I had a .243 that shot 1/2 MOA with 100gr. and 1/3 MOA with 80gr., this with factory remington ammo.
The only thing that might concern me about the Savage is the stock-to-barrel fit, if your rifle doesn't shoot well, have this checked out, with the right fit it may be a tack-driver after all.

I've owned a 30-06 110E for 12 years. Puts meat in the freezer every year. I highly recommend the 110 series rifles.

Great Rifle, however a new gun doesn't shoot any better than a used one.* Buy used and save $$$$ on the Gun & Scope.*

savage rifles are mostly all good guns, make sure you get a good scope to compliment your good rifle
