Savage Action, Criterion 26" long 1" bull barrel and a Choate Sniper stock. Picked it up in a trade and now need to get an optic put on it. It came with a BSA 6x24 power scope that is just a little cloudy at 24 power.

Barrel alone weighs about 6 pounds. Not sure of the weight of it but it is not something you want to tote around much.

Looks good, I used to have one of those trailer axle barrels, won't do that again. They get heavy in a hurry. How does it shoot?

My long range precision rifle weighs 20 lbs without a full mag. I love it. I have one of the TAB biathalon slings and it is extremely easy to carry. I've walked several miles with it in less than ideal terrain and didn't have an issue with it.

Just ordered some ammo from Chad over at Dallas Custom Reloads. Once I get a good scope and the ammo I will shoot it and see how it shoots. Supposedly it shot less than .4 inch 5 shot group at 100.

Love the bull barrels. But I like when they are fluted as well.
