I'm with Mr. BB unless there is a specific need or reason that 200 yards benefits you over 150- I don't see that it's worth it.

I have a Mossberg 695 12 gauge. A bolt action, similar to the savages that you are talking about. I have shot it to 150. And it would still hold an acceptable group at 200 as well. Especially for deer hunting. But I just don't really need it to shoot that far.

If you have the extra cash and wanna play around, go for it. but it's certainly not needed and doesn't gain you that much.
