I just saw a .308 Savage with iron sights and 20" threaded barrel. The Hog Hunter, I think it was called. This might be the brush gun I'm looking for...gotta research it a bit more. As for a dedicated long range rifle, I'm thinking of getting a second 7mm Rem mag just to keep the reloading logistics simple. Any yea or nea votes for the more expensive short or long action Rem 700's, ie, the LTR or XCR models? Do they generally do better with acccuracy than the lower end models?
