[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 628803, member: 30671"] The boring answer is it sounds like you've got what you need! You aren't stretching the range so the extra FPS from a longer barrel is nice, but not necessary. Accuracy is good enough for what you are expecting to do. A tweak here or there in loads or bedding might give more consistently the 3/4" groups the rifle is giving you at times. You don't mention your scope, it might be a time to upgrade there. I don't know Savage's, but maybe a replacement stock could save some weight. My 06's wear 22" barrels for the reasons you mentioned. [/QUOTE]
