DwRuger - The short actions are the "16" series while the "116" is the long actions. Don't get those confused. The 16 short actions are for the WSM Rifles up to the 300 WSM only. The 116FSS is a long action for .270's and up 338 Win Mag & 300 Ultra Mag. You need to look closely at what you...

DwRuger - I just bought a Savage Model 116FSS in 7mm Rem. Mag. I spent the last month researching and asking a lot of questions on this forum and many others. I received very good input from the folks here and elsewhere. I compared all the Mfr's, Rem. Weatherby, Win., Sako, etc. and settled...

Well, I ordered my new 7mm Rem. Mag. today. Savage Model 116 in Stainless. Now I'm looking for a nice scope and will probably have the stock replaced with a McMillan. Thanks for all the input, it helped in my decision process. [ 01-19-2004: Message edited by: T. Ray ]

I posted earlier about the 7mm Rem. Mag by Weatherby and Remington. I mentioned I leaned toward the Weatherby as my preferred rifle. As I research further I am really liking the Savage. It has a free floating, dual pillar bedded, button rifled barrel with an adjustable muzzle brake. I also...

I'm new to this forum but prowl many others. I am about to purchase a new rifle. I was leaning toward the Weatherby Mark V in 7mm Rem. Mag. but I was not real happy about the weight,8-3/4 pounds w/out scope & mounts - 26" barrel. I can get the same rifle in .308 Win. weighing in @ 7-1/4...
