I vote savage everytime.
Ive got a savage 116 barrel on my 110 action. Love it.
You can swap barrels on a savage in just a minute.

You could go with a 300WM and then get another barrel w bolthead for .223.
Or 308, or 338 edge, or 7mag, or whatever you want.

So this
Savage 110FCP HS PRECISION 300WIN $943.00 SHIPS FREE
Plus this
Weaver Mounts 99494 1-Piece Tactical Base Savage LA Accu-Tri $27.74
With these
Burris Xtreme Tactical 30mm Rings High Matte $49.52
Holding this
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 Rifle Scope FFP - Free S&H - PST624F1M, PST624F1A
Not sure if the FFP is worth the extra $200 over the standard.

Only if you plan to use it for ranging targets. If not then don't waste your money. I have a leica 1600 for ranging so I only use SFP scopes.

Never gotten into the long range shooting thing, though I've always wanted to. Currently looking for a decent longer-ish range varmint rifle. I'm trying to decide between a .17 HMR, .22-250, and .223 for a tactical varmint rifle. I've found a Savage .17 HMR that I absolutely love, but I'm worried that I will want a more powerful round. Mostly if anything would be coyote or the occasional hog gun and then just plinking and target.

22-250, and .223 are both fun rounds. I run a fast twist barrel and shoot 69smk's and 70 bergers out of both. there good out to 800 or so.

Love my 300 winmag, shes a little brutual without a break but thats coming in due time, also desperately needs a new stock, the factory rem stock is starting to develope some play and I think this is hurting my groups.

What are you guys using for glass? I got a Leupold MK4 6.5-20X50mm on my rem700 223 and a Sightron SIII6-24X50 LRMOA on my 300 wm
