Which small caliber Savage to get?
I'm in the market for a varmit/paper target rifle. I've decided on a Savage but just can't decide which model or caliber. Need some advice.
I'm on the east coast so the 500yrd+ shots are few and far between, lucky if you can find a range for 300yrds.
Looking for a fun rifle to paper punch at long distances at the range but ability to pack through the woods for Fox, squirrels, crows, and if it permits coyotes.
I was thinking about a .204 but know I'm also thinking .17, .223, or even the .22-.250.
I love the looks and features of the Model 12 BTC SS but the thoughts of packing a 10lb gun around the woods doesn't sound fun.
Any suggestions?
