[QUOTE="aebhunter, post: 1648295, member: 72979"] I built a .300 Win Mag hunting rifle that in my opinion is just the right balance between light and "shootable". It weighs right at 10.5 lbs with the bipod. Proof Research Barrel, Manners EH1A elite shell stock, Leupold MK5 3-18 are the meat and potatoes of the build. One thing I have found extremely helpful is to load 185-190 grain bullets to help mitigate recoil. I have an affinity for the big 215s, but I do notice more recoil when I shoot that load. For my effective hunting range, the 185s and 190s do just fine when put in the right spot. I do shoot suppressed, so that is also a factor. Less recoil if you have a brake for sure. [/QUOTE]
