[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 409185, member: 19372"] The Savage short action is about the perfect choice for a bunch of reasons. It is long enough to seat any bullet you want in a .22-250 out far enough to touch the lands in a reasonably throated barrel. The Accutrigger works well enough that I've never felt the urge to replace one on a hunting rifle. The floating bolt head essemtially eliminates the need to do any receiver truing for other than anal benchrest types who can't sleep unless they do it. It is dirt simple to change barrels on a Savage and you can buy barrels and bolt faces in a mindblowing range of cartridges including some wildcats from Shilen and others. It can be about anything you want it to be that fits in a short action. That said, if you are looking for a short action heavy varmint rifle you can also buy the Savage LRPV, BVSS, and Varmint Lo-Profile as repeaters in .22-250 and if you get one that doesn't "shoot" you will have the only one I've heard of. And they can all be used with multiple barrels as well. Fitch [/QUOTE]
