I apologize, I thought they made a Model 16 in stainless with a 24" barrel, but after checking it turns out that while they do offer a 24" barrel in the Predator models, they appear to only come with blued barrels. I apologize, I should have double checked first. It appears that with their stainless guns you can only get a 22" or 26" barrel with the .243.

My first choice would be the Tikka T3 Lite. Camo stock/SS barrel/action. Second would be the Savage 16.

I'm quite certain the tikka's are only built on long actions...
