I am purchasing a new rifle in .308. I was leaning toward the Weather Warrior but am intrigued by the Long Range Hunter model for a couple of reasons.
1. It has an adjustable cheek rest.
2. It has a 2 inch longer barrel.
3. It has a brake built in.
The potential drawbacks are that it weights more than 1.5 pounds more.
I know application is important so here's my uses. I will be hunting from both stands and stalking. I hunt primarily in western states so longer shots are typical.
I will NOT be attempting to shoot at distances greater than 450 yards since I am not skilled enough to hunt humanely at those distances unless from a fixed position, but a 300 yard shot would be relatively common.
Does anyone have experience with the Savage Long Range Hunter? Any thoughts on whether the features I listed are worth the extra money and weight?
