[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1974003, member: 3455"] Do it right the first time: [url]http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/70995/Savage+10+PRED+HNTR+260+REM+MAX1[/url] There will be no regrets or re-dos .... As for "theory" - machinically shorter / fatter AKA stiffer barrel will be more accurate. Of course there is a point of diminishing returns with loss of speed (length) and diameter (weight). As far as 308 goes - savage [URL="http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/25534/Savage+17974+10FP+308WIN+20IN"]10FP with 20" "varmint" barrel[/URL] is as "all-around" as it gets; it's a bit nose heavy for off-hand, but plants fantastically with a bi-pod; solid stock (like B&C) re-balances the rifle very well too. Unless you are shooting F-TR with heavy bullets, that's all you'll need. With all that said - from practical point 308 is rather outdated; 260 will do [I]EVERYTHING[/I] better. [/QUOTE]
