[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1387720, member: 68875"] Weight difference between a long and short action is 3 oz in an R700. If 3 oz breaks the bank as far as total carry weight, take a big swig from one bottle of water in your pack and viola'. You just shaved 3 oz off your pack weight. Problem solved. Put a light scope on it and you will never feel the difference. My vote goes to the .300WM. Push a 210 or 215 Berger @ 2940+ and you have a legitimate 1000 yard elk rifle. Don't discount a good .284/7mm either. .280AI, 7RM, 7SAUM, 28 Nosler, etc. pushing a 168 to 195 bullet. My elk rifles weigh 8lbs 15oz (.280AI), 10lbs 4oz (7RM) and 14lbs (.300RUM). Not much need to go less than my lightweight rifle for elk. Even at 10k elevation. [/QUOTE]
