"...the combo deal scopes however aren't great..." They're way better than they used to be. The Simmons Savage used were essentially disposable junk. Good enough until you got the money for a better sight but really low end kit.
It's very hard to beat a Savage for out of the box accuracy. However, the Savage XP 2 is an Axis. An Axis is an entry level hunting rifle. No adjustable trigger and you might need to bed the thing. Mind you, you can always sell it. Maybe at a profit.
