i guess the advantage to my RSI is that ive never chrono’d it. so when i kill stuff with it i dont know how slow the bullet was going. i actually tend to think a 20” barrel is about ideal for the cartridge in terms of portability vs performance. the 24” 700 classic is definitely overkill on barrel length, although its noticeably less barky than the RSI.
always thought savage should have chambered their lightweight hunter in the 250 savage, back when they still made a blued walnut model.
