[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3054305, member: 15054"] I hope it will be. I had another savage 10FP that shot well once I cut the barrel from 24" down to 20.5" This one has 18" and is way less finicky.. I am sold on short barrels.. at least for a factory barrel. The .223 that shot .700" at 100 will shoot under .750" at 200 with the same load. I have shot 3 shot at 300 under 1".. only did that once .. got a few 1.25" 3 shot groups though. That is one reason why I do not try to improve on the 100 yard groups too much until I have shot it at 200 and 300 yards. If it holds together at the longer distances on several trips to the range with varying temps i will stick with the load. Not one to brag about at 100 yards though.. But pencil barrel .223 will put meat on the table. I did see a beautiful Ruger rifle today at the range. Gus has been using it since 1989. I think is what he said.. it looked brand new.. Wood stock not a pencil barrel but not a heavy barrel either. Ruger Model 77 mark II in 25-06 Shooting Hornady box ammo first 2 shots touching making a very small 8 closer to a O than 8. he asked me if that was 2 in 1 hole or if he missed. People never talk much about the 25-06 but man it is a good one that I have thought hard about. [/QUOTE]
