$499 can get me either a Model 11fxp trophy hunter with regular profile barrel or an 11vt. I know they both have the Axis bottom metal but I can replace that. The gun would see a little hunting and a little range. The local range is 200 yards but I've got access to private land much bigger. I know the VT has the better barrel for range and fxp for hunting. I'd prefer the VT's barrel to be about 20-22 inches but that can be done for about $50. Anyone have any idea the weight of each? I know the scopes on the packages aren't the best but it would do until I found my shooting was limited by the scope and had saved for a nice one.

I really wanted a 10p-sr but I can't find one locally and after shipping and FFL transfer I would have $100-150 extra in the gun with no scope. Also considered the hog Hunter but it's about $450 without a scope.

Thanks for your input.
