[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1210098, member: 74902"] I shoot lots of Savages, just not this particular one. It's a excellent rifle, probably the wisest use of your money, but it will have a longer length of pull. :D Plus -- I am not sure how much long range shooting you currently do, but you are still experimenting (and it takes a lot) The Savage LRH is the perfect rifle. It will give you the chance to experiment with a brake since the brake can be turned on or off. It has an adjustable cheek piece which it very important for consistency at long range. It has one of the best factory triggers available. You will love the trigger. You will soon replace the trigger on the Remington. I don't own this rifle, but pretty sure it is 26" with the brake. That is not bad, it will probably cost you 60 feet per second, which is a trivial amount. The longer the barrel, the less quick handling the rifle is in general. You can still swing a 26" barrel for quicker off hand shots. I like a 28" barrel on a dedicated LR rig but not on a rifle that might be shot some in other situations. The Savage will allow you to easily upgrade the barrel in the future, if you want, you can change it yourself. There is a reason they are so popular, they flat shoot. Without doubt the best bang for your buck. Admittedly, they are not the cheapest rifles a lot of times, but you tend to get what you pay for. And to get one $100 dollars less than the Remington is a steel. They usually cost somewhat more. Get it before someone else does. [/QUOTE]
