[QUOTE="grit, post: 97611, member: 4112"] Thanks for the input. Let me add a bit. I want to keep the rifle as versatile as possible. The rifle will serve as a varmint / target rig for me, and a deer rifle for my wife. I like both the vls and the savage, but they are a bit heavier than I'd like. I have my concerns about the browning as well (trigger mostly), but it caught my eye because it offered a good compromise. I would lean toward the sporter weights before a heavy rig, for the sake of versatility, and my poor wife. Maybe you guys think differently. Perhaps a little education on the merits of heavy barrels would change my mind. I have two rifles with heavy barrels. The benefits I see are stability, and consistency when shooting in volume. Is there more to it? I don't mind carrying a heavy rig when varmint hunting, where the hiking is usually limited. I don't want to carry one when hunting deer and antelope, and I don't think my wife would like to carry one at all. I suppose I may be complicating the issue. Just want to get something I'll be happy with. Besides, just making a decision wouldn't be any fun. And what else is chambered in the 6mm rem? [/QUOTE]
