No mate never competed in comps ever (couldn't think of anything more boring and mundane to be honest) I just test a few diff ammo brands when I buy a new rifle to see what it likes then I buy up.
The little 6x Tasco seems more than good enough for what I use it for (Bunny busting and ringing gongs when I want to have a bit more of a challenge at 200m+
I bought both Savages 2nd hand and both were used for target shooting from what the previous owners said, not sure what scope combos they had (A couple of those groups were from them and I've shot a few groups with it when I first got it and so did the daughters and they all managed very good groups with them too so they can shoot ok.
We only really use them to roll a few bunnies with or a few gongs and the occasional bunny head on a stick for practice out to say 80-100m.
