Savage 110BA vs LRH 111 in 338

[texn]

I hunt quite a bit in the mountains and hike far away from any atv trail. I am kicking around the idea of selling my Savage 110BA in 338 Lapua Magnum and buying the Savage Model: 11/111 Long Range Hunter in 338 LM.

I bought the 110BA about a year ago and havent been able to use it at all for hunting since it involves so much hiking and climbing. I dont have any complaints on the accuracy of the 110BA, it just doesnt suit my needs right now. The weight of the 111 is nearly half of the 110BA.

Have any of you shot both of these rifles or have any input?

How is the recoil with the reduced weight of the rifle?

Is the muzzle brake standard on the 111 in 338lm?

Any differences in accuracy?


Thanks fellas.

I just wanted to point out that the barrel on the 111 long range hunter is a slimmer non fluted barrel. But If your only using it for hunting and taking only a few shots at a time the 111 should do you well. Oh also the muzzle brake is a little different than the BA but it does come standard. I've read the recoil is still very light even with the reduced weight.
