[QUOTE="mkg, post: 173892, member: 9514"] Hello all, Great forum. I've been brush hunting deer with a Remington 700sps in .308 for three years now and to make a long story short I met some great guys that offered to take me longrange hunting. Oh what a mistake , now I've been biten by the bug ... you know the one, the wallet mosquito. Anyway it's too late in the season for me to try to build a long range deer rifle so I've decided to buy a Savage 12bvss in 22-.250 with a weaver grandslam 4.5 X 14 scope for varmit/range to get in to the swing of things in the off season. But, my question is this... My .308 is basically straight out of the box with a 3200 elite scope and harris bi-pod ( just added ) on it . Is it worth having the barrel floated and action bedded to help out the .308 or would another Savage (116FHSAK or 112BVSS if I can find one ) in either 30-06 or 300 mag be a more effective use of funds. The reloading stuff as well as the range finder is coming ( thanks Santa ) I know this is a totally noob question and if I left out any needed info please let me know. Thanks Mike [/QUOTE]
