[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1063707, member: 13632"] In my playing with them and setting them up I have not seen stable long range (1000+) precision from the 11.25 twist with thee best bullets, they'll do well but not what we see from the 10 or even the 9.5 twist rate 308's once we start pushing them to there full potential. If a guy looks at Rem twist rates you'll find the newer model designs are coming in a 1-10, the older the design the slower the twist rate it seems, they unfortunately come in platforms I'd pull the stock on, then drop a trigger in and lengthen the mag box so for the money I just can't justify a marginal configuration when there a better out there when I put my money down. I do love a Rem short action though because I get paid to fix them but I don't like working on my own guns so I put my personal money into the best odds for each cal. I like the short action Savages don't like the long actions except for WSM's. All my long action goodies are Rems or customs, so not picking on any one brand as I have equal dislikes for most all of them it just depends on what I'm working with. [/QUOTE]
