RE: Savage 4.6RTR versus 4.6ss versus 5.9RTR
If i was you id go with the f4.6 fitted to an xl,
the force 28 has enough power to push the savage around easily,
a picco 28 will be a bit of an animal compared to the f4.6 in every aspect,
more power, higher fuel consumption and seem to need tuned every time the wind changes direction,
i had a couple piccos and they ran great for me and are power houses,
but i have also have an ofna force 28 engine which runs perfect and produces hassle free tuning every time i run it,
