Savage high country

I wish the high country 6.5 prc had a 26" barrel. But i may end up with that....or the m77 Hawkeye longe range that does have 26" pipe. I am really used to the accutrigger and all my savages shoot well so tahts a hard choice...
 
The beautiful thing about a Savage is you can get another barrel, a wrench, and a set of go/no go gauges and switch the caliber yourself. As long as it will fit and feed through the magazine.

I know.....dang....the 24 would "handier" too....that hawkeye is 11+ lbs and im not sure i want another heavy one.
 
Highdrum: Suggest you check the weight on some rifles. The pre-64 model 70 featherweight was just about 8 lbs without a scope. An 8 lb rifle is plenty light for mountain hunting.
The new featherweight is 7# on the dot for a Magnum short action. Comparing a CRF action to a push feed in a synthetic stock isn't exactly apples to apples either. This rifle looks to be a Savage version on the kimber "open country" heavy sporter fluted, camo stock. They weigh 7#. I have nothing against this rifle at all, but for a niche looking mountain "high country" rifle, she's a lil heavy. I hope these rifles shoot great, they look nice. I just prefer a bit lighter. My 338 rum w/ 28" barrel weighs 8# w/o optics.
