[QUOTE="Starlite, post: 1959221, member: 112246"] As [USER=109082]@Highvoltage[/USER] stated the high country has a mild-medium bull threaded 22” barrel which will be ~ 1K $. A cheaper (cost not necessarily quality @ ~ $500) option would be the new Overwatch which is lighter with a shorter barrel at 20” ( seems to be a mild-medium bull barrel too) although it has no muzzle break it does have a EGW full length pic. Rail. I have the 270 win overwatch; but as of yet have not fired it. It’s just been too hot for any reasonable load development. If your looking for a rifle that’s good for bush, mountains, and open fields (out to 500yds) the light overwatch might be a good choice. The stock is solid with pillared action screws. The bolt is smooth but doesn’t hold a candle to my Sako 85. The trigger is crisp but I find it too heavy despite my adjustments. FWIW I have a savage axis in 223 rem which will shoot 1.2MOA with my hand loaded ammo. [/QUOTE]
