[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 296131, member: 505"] In my opinion you would be defeating the purpose of the 338 Allen to go lighter than Kirby suggests. This is a legitimate one mile rifle capable of extreme accuracy at a mile or further. To shoot accurately consistently I would not go lighter than Kirby's minimum. Weight is critical to control all the aspects of long range shooting. My light rifles can get me by out to a half mile pretty well because I have been doing this a long time and can control a light rifle at that range. It takes a lot of practice with light rifles to shoot accurately at even a half mile and hit game consistently. There is a lot of talk on here about newbies wanting a thousand yard big game rifle. It is not that easy with 10 pound hunting rifles but can be done with a lot of practice. [/QUOTE]
