    Which barrel for accuracy/varmint rifle? Need input

    Okay, I’ve been playing around with 16” rifles too much, and if you saw my previous post I’m looking to buy a 20-24” barrel for my next build to achieve superb accuracy out to maybe 5-600 yards, and use it as an occasional varmint gun as well. I’ve NEVER owned a rifle with a scope, so I’m aware...

I would like to try this some mord but need some advise. So here...

    Extended forend stock/chassis for long barrel rifle bipod

    My 28" long bull barrel in Savage Repeater Target Action is bedded into a H-S Precision stock, which positions the bipod 11" forward of the chamber. This places the barrel's balance ahead of the bipod, and puts rifle stability at a disadvantage. Weight can be added to the back end, but that's...
