Interesting. Love the Savages and made my longest hog kill with an old, old 110. 413 yards.
I have three of the inexpensive Stevens that I have for "hog" rifles. The "extra 2" of barrels has never been an issue.
Amazingly accurate, dependable and effective.
Two .270s. And a .223 One I have restocked to a lefty stock.
The other 2 are painted for grins and have never failed me.
Good luck in your search.
