[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1527734, member: 100006"] I've decided to go with a fluted 24" McGowen #2 or #3 after I found out that Proof carbon barrels aren't as feather light as I once thought. I agree with you, the slight loss of velocity going from a 26" to a 24" is well worth it for added maneuverability. I like the grip angle on that McMillan Game Scout but i really prefer a higher comb than that offers without going to an adjustable and adding weight and the carbon fiber A3 is just a bit heavy at 29oz for the short action and I would suspect the long action is an ounce or two heavier and then it's 4 to 5oz heavier than the Manners EH2 that I think I am going to go with. Thanks for the input though, it really made me take a second look at McMillan as a viable option and helped confirm that I made the right choice in barrel profile. [/QUOTE]
