Savage edge XP .308

I recently purchased a Savage Edge XP in .308 Win.  Has anyone had experience with the packaged Bushnell scope or should I upgrade the scope?

That scope sucks, no other

That scope sucks, no other way to put it.  The gun is great, however.  The first rifle I ever purchased myself was a Savage 110 with the typical "package Bushnell".  After the first season I used it, I upgraded to a Simmons Whitetail Classic, and still use it today - 15 yrs. later.  The scope at the time was roughly $100.  According to Cabela's, they still go for about the same today.

I don't know about the rifle

I don't know about the rifle but I've had a Simmons Aetec for 14 years. I have never had a problem with it. It isn't a top of the line scope but it's done it's job for this long. I haven't had to adjust point of impact but one time and I bumped the scope then.
