I am a new member and I want to get into mid to long range shooting and hunting without spending the mega bucks. Savage makes a model 10 Predator Hunter in .243. My question is can I change out the barrel or even get it re cut in .260 Remington. I hear a lot of great things about the BC for this round along with it being great deer round. This would be a much cheaper route for me then getting a savage FCP McMillan in .308. “The rifle I want to get.”
