Thanks, yeah not sure why they don't list the weights on their website. It's primarily going to be a coyote/backup deer so weight isn't a huge concern.
8.5 lbs

The model 10 is an accustock while the model 11 is not. I have a couple friends/family with the 10's and they flat out shoot. The old non-accustock model 10 fully camoed rifle/action/barrel is basically the same gun at the new 11 except fully dipped compared to just the stock dip. I've shot the old 10 in 223 and it was very accurate too.
Is the accustock worth the extra $? I was thinking I'd be swapping out the stock with either of my choices.

It is the same exact action and set up just without the medium contour barrel. For a hunting gun a sporter weight barrel is the way to go in my opinion. Since you will only be shooting 1 or 2 rounds at a time the extra weight might not be worth it. I payed under $200 for my 111 in 30-06 with a 3-9x scope.

Thanks for the tip. I was mainly referring to the model I listed as well as the ruger predator as far as replacing stocks. I was just curious if the accustock is preferred over the model 11 stock. The medium barrel is actually what caught my eye :tup:

I think I'm leaning towards this so I appreciate the link.

I think it has super natural powers. Deer and elk seem to fall over dead whenever they see it.

The medium barrel is actually what caught my eye :tup:I think the general consensus is either savage you go with is going to be a sweet shooting rifle. None of mine have the accustock and are all extremely accurate. From what I have read for what you get with the accustock, aluminum bedding block, you can't beat it for the price. The ruger predator is more of an entry level type rifle to be compared to the savage axis.

Gotcha, thanks. The plan with the ruger was going to be a project but I'm seeing some pretty inconsistent reviews. I thought I would go a different route than my tikka norm and savage seems like it's a pretty good option.
