[QUOTE="toddc, post: 595128, member: 4566"] I have a savage la that I put a 6-284 douglas bbl on and its pretty close to perfect IMO. Some will gripe about bbl life but I dont punch paper with it or shoot rocks so I dont care. Also douglas are cheap. I use a bunch of retumbo and 115 vlds for deer and it will shoot from front shoulder and smash the hip coming out with a 6" exit so its tits for deer. I have an 8 twist barrel which I guess is marginal for 115s but it works for me. Shoots stupid flat at about 3050 from a 28" tube. Add a lightweight vmax and itd do what you wish. Main reason I went with the 284 was the horsepower to push the 115 hard enough to stabilise the 115. If I did it over I might use a 6x47. [/QUOTE]
