[QUOTE="Savage 12BVSS, post: 1812429, member: 112413"] I think its kinda neat having a thread about short barreled rifles, when I did my first one (2003) I was pretty much considered strange on a site I posted on at the time. Few years later I built another one, this time the fellow at LW barrels did his best to discourage me. Thing is both rifles carry well thru heavy cover where I hunt the most and don't catch on every limb when I climb into a treestand. I was told that they wouldn't shoot well, too much barrel whip, again that wasn't as big of an issue as I found. Just don't shoot long strings and overheat them! I built a 260 and a 7mm-08 and they both are in the fours at 100yds and load work isn't quite done yet. Only downside I have found is that when hunting and you take a shot... MAN do they make some noise. Glad building a short rifle gets positive response these days. Awesome gun Pics! Dave [/QUOTE]
