I am building a deer rifle this winter and am shopping barrels right now. Where this gun will be used the longest shot possibility is 350yards. I found a used stainless Savage take off barrel (non fluted) in the caliber I want delivered for $75 or the ideal barrel that I would want (fluted SS) from savage-barrels.com for $425 plus shipping. My question is at the distances i hunt would it be worth it to drop the extra $350 on the premium barrel or just go with the Savage barrel?
