[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 600457, member: 12443"] well unlike broz i am still a kid. i'll be 77 in april and i still enjoy everyday. ive recently been enjoying debating him on another site. as a lefty im partial to savage also. they were first in this country to offer lefties bolt action rifles. i have quite a few of them. accuracy of these things is nothing short of outstanding from a factory rifle. as for your choice i too would select the heavier one. the ammount of weight difference is minimal compared to the other advantages. my best advice for you would have nothing to do with your choice of rifles. youve no doubt heard the expression more is not better. better is better. same is true of hunting. especially long range hunting. the idea is not to hunt harder, but to hunt smarter. rethink everything youve been doing. you still have lots of time if you do it right. if youve been hunting alone, stop right now. select at least one and better two others who share your passion for what you do. select a few good locations from which you can establish ambush style long range hunts. one rifle for the group is all thats necessary. that leaves others to carry other necessary equiptment. better yet stash important items like sandbags and even benches at your locations. the most important thing here is you will now have spotters to watch shots. your own imagination can tailer make your choices. your success rate will increase and so will your enjoyment. one final word of advise. try to select younger companions. that for obvious reasons. even if it means you supply the equiptment. and that way you wont be listening to somebody complain all day.
