[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 330201, member: 2011"] That's about a $200 difference. That would mean quite an upgrade in glass selection. Two inches of barrel is some where on the order of, just guessing, 80 fps at the high end (Toss and turn here, being a velocity hawg.) but then a 168 gr bullet is more apt to be placed right with the brake. Its a tough decision. The biggest difference, for me, are cosmetic differences between the two rifles. Niftiest advantage of the Savage (and I'm a tinkerer) is that you can swap your own barrels or its less expensive to farm one out for change. Gloom, dispair and agony on me............personally I'd own the savage as I don't own any but put together a 7mm REM for my son-in-law and its pretty sweet. Results were a good serviceable rifle that would shot along with any other Savage or Rem. I'm confident that future DIY jobs I come up with will be on Savage/Stevens actions. [/QUOTE]
