I have an old push feed Model 70 that shoots pretty well (1 moa with the right handloads) but I've got the itch to upgrade. I'd like some feedback from people who have had some experience with Savage's 116 Weather Warrior with the fluted heavy barrel. I am particularly interested in this rifle in 30/06. I don't mind a little extra weight if the rifle will do .5 moa. Does this rifle have the same barrel profile as their tactical rifles or is it a lighter version? I want my new rifle to be able to handle both normal hunting and long range varminting/target shooting. (600-100 yds)My Remington 700PSS is nice but it is heavier than I would like. Can this rifle be had without the on/off muzzle brake?
