Buds has the Savage 111 Long Range Hunter in stock in 7mm RM.

Looks like they finally made it to the bigger dealers, at least the 7mm rem mag made it. Listed as In Stock for $759.

Other calibers are similarly priced, but not showing in stock yet. Maybe the 7mm RM is now available as a drop ship item? Either way, it's a good sign.

An 11LHR in .308 has my name on it as soon as 'Bud' gets it in. It finally came down to that or a 10FCP-K. Wanna try the 26" heavy barrel.

I could understand a 26" bbl on the 7mm Rem Mag to squeeze out that last bit of performance but is it really necessary for 308Win? It's almost like your trying to get something more out of something that isn't there. For hunting with a 308 a 20", 22" should be plenty to take advantage of the cartridges abilities especially if your plans include hiking around. I respect that you've got your own ideas on this...just my .02

And where did you read that I'll be hunting with it?
