RC20,

I am sure it's me who is creating the confusion and you are missing nothing.

You are absolutely correct that the Savage Varmint is exactly what I have now and that the bull barrel is the next size up that Shilen offers. I was hoping to find something in between the Savage Varmint and the Savage Bull Barrel but don't have much of a basis for this preference other than looks.

I'll have to check my stock to confirm it will accommodate the bull barrel.

I still need to call Southern Shooters. Thanks for the input.
