I've never been a savage kind of guy always shot a Remington but hey I love imput what savage do you shoot for long range do you recommend a longer barrel than a shorter one
The hardest part is the base rifle don't really have anywhere around that I could find a used gun so I think im going to have to buy a new one
the hard part is getting a rifle capable, a range finder, a scope, a trigger, and ammo to practice.
with a sendero as the basic rifle without a brake it is 8.5 pounds; the long range is 9 and 1/4 or so. if you need more accuracy than that, you can add a barrel later.
I was thinking of a 700 long range in a 7mm Remington
I think the Remy 700 LR in 7mm is a good choice, I have the same rifle . It's bone stock, except for the Timney trigger and a Vortex Viper PST sits on top. She shoots 3/4 groups at 200 yards with the 175 ABLR. Rifle was .$699.99, not bad.
