Re: Re: Planning a 110 build
I say if the barrel shoots, run what you brung. I dont think the extra 4" is worth the trouble if that 20"er gets it done. Nothin better than turf'n game with a cheap old ugly Savage next to guys with rifles costing twice as much that shoot half as good ;D
My old faithfull is a 270 factory barrel, bedded factory synthetic stock, tuned 3 screw trigger(ok, I did have the action worked over by Fred, worth every penny, but it didn't make it any more accurate). I even run an old Simmons Aetec just because it wont die and really bugs my pard with the leups :D. It will get me as far out as I ever need & I routinely hunt eastern MT. I like the factory stock, but I would opt out if the bipod due to aforementioned flex problems.
That factory tupperware is pretty dang lite, which I appreciate at the end of the day. Works just fine layin over my pack. If you plan on doing a bunch of walking I highly recomend a Kifaru gun bearer. Makes carrying a rifle all day a breeze.
Good luck on your hunt.
