Very impressive groups, heatsinkins. The guys that I shoot with all have 22 inch tubes on their rifles, one in 308 Win and one in a 260 Rem. Both of them are Terry Cross rifles with Kreiger barrels. Another guy in the group is shooting a custom out of Albuquerque, NM with a Mike Rock barrel. I can hang with these guys with my factory stuff out to about 400 yards then I become limited by my equipment. One of the Savages I bought from BJ is undergoing a transformation into something that I hope will level the playing field a little. I am a little limited on funds so I have elected to go with a Douglas XX from Sharpshooters to start out with. I have ordered the barrel already in a 22 inch length but have been doubting myself since I placed the order. I am trying to convince myself that it was the right call based on their recomendations but.............. I don't doubt the accuracy of the 22" at all but I can't help but thinking a 24 would have been more sound of a choice. Barrel, lug, tactical bolt handle, Farrel base and follower are due in this week. The trigger (Rifle Basix), action and stock (Choate tactical) are already in house. Maybe by this time next week I will have erased all doubts /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Thanks for the response!

BTW, The rifle will be used to bang gongs and punch paper on a UDR out to 1000. I am undecided on glass but will start it off with a Nikon tactical that I already own.
