I've been planning on building myself a new gun and going the Savage route so I can teach myself some things and go at my own pace, but hadn't settled on all the specifics. Then came the group buy.
Now the good people at Manners sweating me for specifics of a gun that I don't have yet. I've ordered the MCS-EH4 for a Savage 4.4 short-action, center feed. But they need to know what profile barrel I am going to drop into it.
I have been going towards a 16-18" lighter-weight hunting/truck and shooting gun. I've come to discover that I'm allergic to weight, and a pound of gun is a pound of comfort I'll have to sacrifice somewhere else, so full varmint profile is more metal than I'm trying to lug around. I plan on running Accurate Mags DBM on the bottom, but long strings of fire, a la comps, are unlikely (but it would be nice to be able to put 5 shots on paper without having to do my nails between pulling the trigger).
I'm guessing that somewhere between Heavy Sporter and Light Varmint is where I'll land, but I have never done this kind of build. I freely admit that I can be at cross purposes to myself with some build, so any of your advice and experiences would be appreciated.
