[QUOTE="Marine24, post: 1161390, member: 17072"] I went this route myself, but elected to go with the 260 Rem. Mine was a SA Savage with a 20" McGowan medium sporter fluted barrel with a B&C Medalist stock and a Swaro Z5 3.5-18 scope. Loaded and with optics it came in heavier than I wanted at 8.7 lbs but still a major improvement over my previous 260 Rem LR rifle. At the range, I was able to comfortably take it out to 800 yards with no issue, but never got the chance to hunt with it before I sold it. I have a 257 Wby and a 7mm-08 already, so there was a great deal of redundancy. Only challenge I had with the lighter barrel was the groups opening up as the barrel got hotter. The fluting helped but just had to adopt a more relaxed pace when shooting. [/QUOTE]
