[QUOTE="liltank, post: 600421, member: 13275"] I'm 35, fat, back surgery, and a bum knee. I would still go for the HS model. I go this route for the simple reason that my cousin has a custom Target action Savage in .338 Lapua. Now that gun weighs in at 20#, but 13 wouldn't be too bad. My Savage in .308 weighs in at about 21.5-13# right now. I have done one hike with it to get ready for deer season this past fall (3 miles up and down hills). Even though I am horribly out of shape it wasn't to bad. If you have a spot you are going to walk into and set all day, the HS model would be the way to go. I like the HS stock design better. Even though the Accu-stock is nice for what it is designed for, the rigidity of the HS will be better for the longer shots. If you plan to do spot and stalk, then the lighter rifle would be the route to go. JMHO:cool: I wish I could win 50% off a Savage. I love Savage rifles. I built mine off of a Savage action. Before I touched it, it shot really well. Tank [/QUOTE]
