Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I am thankful for family first of all of course. I am also thankful for my 3 Weatherby rfiles.

I purchased my first Weatherby Vangyard in 2010 in .243 and after installing a Tunney trigger it shoots fantastic. I purchased a S2 .223 carbine the following year and live it. This year I purchased the Accuguard in .270 and love it.

I keep my little 20” .223 handy in my deer blind for shooting coyotes in South Texas. I am considering upgrading to a new Vanguard h-bar rc with the free floated heavy barrel and bell and Carlson stock.

I know it weighs 8.5 pounds but since I don’t carry it much I am not overly concerned with weight. With a great barrel, stick and trigger I should not have to make any upgrades.

What are your opinions if the h-bar rc?

I can purchase this gun in 22” without threads for $799 or the latest version with 20” barrel and threads for $950.
 
I do not plan to add a suppressor so I do not think I need threads.

My only concern is the extra 2” of length and additional .25 lbs.

Which would you choose?

Thx!
