Sarvo makes some good points. I know of a few around the country where the owners dont hunt with them, but like to boast about owning a SAKO VIXEN - its just bull shit. Like I've said, they are a...

The answer is always 'it depends'. From the way you wrote the question I assume you're looking to answer the performance/handiness trade-off for hunting? I use a 41mm x 9" Gunworks overbarrel...

Getting 2850fps with 2209 and the 130 Berger in a 22" and it's not hot.Entirely enough velocity and shrapnelizing copper'n lead for most of our deer out to 400 or so. Working on a Fallow, Wallaby and...

If you are hunting the FPS numbers, most 6.5s gain it simply by barrel length. For a GP rifle with nothing added to the spout, i'd go 22-24" or 20-21" if you want to add a suppressor.

If I was buying one again, I'd probably opt for 20" and an Alliant RL16 powder. Mine is 24" varmint profile, heavy but deliberately so, it doesn't bother me with a double sling. I won't change it...

If there was a Savage dealer in NZ that had the full range and sold them close to what the yanks get them for... I'd have 10. Or maybe 11. And 30 barrels. They do take a wee bit of work to sort...

Gun snob :) I would be quite happy to put my .223 of the name model (but wood) up against any .223 sporting rifle of the same weight.

well below zero on the tops... in winter you can get ice down to 800/900m if you factor in wind-chill it is a grim place to be. common to have 50 to 80 kmh wind in exposed places

Totally agree, also if you have to use a scope then the animal is too far away for you #banscopesandmuzzlebrakes

I have found the lighter you go the more you have to pay attention when you are actually doing the "shooting bit". My mates Kimber 30/06 Sub Alpine is very very light and there is no way you can...
