[QUOTE="Tiny Tim, post: 1784922, member: 87887"] The main differences are the Hunter model has a DBM and the Long Range has a hinged floor plate. Performance wise (meaning velocity), I believe what you may have gained by the additional 2" of barrel length will be somewhat offset by the addition of the muzzle brake on the Long range model. Their website shows both models having the same twist (10) I'm uncertain of the mag length on the Long Range model, but Savage's DBM's are notoriously short. I am having a CDI bottom metal installed on my Savage 110 that accept AI mags. With the factory mag, I am limited to .070 off the lands with Berger 210VLD. Again, your paying for a hinged floor plate and an adjustable muzzle brake. My experience is these get dirty quickly and aren't field adjustable, if that matters to you. The Long Range model is also .6 lbs heavier. Accuracy wise, Savage has always impressed me for an out-of-the-box rifle. Choose with the understanding of these differences and how they apply to your style of hunting and I don't think you will be disappointed in either. [/QUOTE]
