I have a 700 .300 Savage I put together for eastern whitetails. Fairly heavy Douglas barrel, but 21 " long. Shoots fine. But I no longer travel east so it hasn't done much lately. But it is a handy little rifle. Was going to bring it on this whitetail hunt, but didn't do it. I love it. Had some 99s but I am a bolt action guy so they left for this replacement. I really like it but at my age, it is not likely to see a ton of use.
Get it and enjoy.
WCH, sounds like a cool rifle. That little Savage case was well ahead of its time.
