I’m planning to buy my first bolt-action rifle and leaning toward the Savage line. It will be used mainly for target shooting and plinking at the range...no plans for hunting at this time. I've narrowed it down to a couple of models in 308 . These is what I have so far:
- 11FXP3 22†light barrel, synthetic stock (package deal, comes with a scope) Good price
- 10FP (heavy barrel) not sure what barrel length to get, 20", 24" or 26"…what's the difference?
I'm thinking; do I really need a heavy barrel? Should I just go for the cheaper 11FX or I'm I going to regret it later? I've heard that the light barrel heats up quickly. Not sure other disadvantages it would have. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
