I've been thinking about getting into longer range shooting. I know some of yall like the Savage rifles...

Found this at Impact- http://www.impactguns.com/savage-10...in-barrel-custom-bolt-22075-011356220752.aspx

Wondering if tbis is one I should look at or if there is something else to consider?

Savage makes excellent bolt guns.

A decent rifle, but other manufacturers have similar models, e.g. Remington, Ruger, Mossberg, etc.

I've got an old Savage 110 bolt action in 30-06 that is a real tack-driver at 100 yards. The heavy-barrel model shown in the link should be even better, if that's possible. Savage has always made accurate guns which some people compare favorably with much more expensive Weatherbys.

^^this^^...their AccuTrigger is fantastic for a factory adjustable...the .308 I had was like a giant version of the .17hmr....both have been flawless...many yotes raccoons and P-dogs have met their demise at the hands of both

I have one of the Model 10 versions with a 24" heavy barrel, mine being a Savage 10 FPC. That 20" barrel should do just fine. I wouldn't hesitate to get the one you linked to if I were in the market for another .308 bolt gun.

I just bought cabelas version of that gun in a .308 for $600. Mine came with a Picatinny rail mounter already and a 24" heavy barrel. May want to look at that one as the rail is probably that much more any how and you get a longer barrel if that interests you. The version I got might be a cabelas exclusive. At least that is what the sticker on the stock said.

I don't own one of their "big calibers", but I love my Savage MK2 FVSR.

I agree. I'd take a look at the others before committing to the Savage.
