[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 279053, member: 2736"] +1 This is what I have for the same use (Light carry) and a 338 RUM for the spot and shoot elk hunting. My 7 WSM is on a # 6 lilja contour 24'' barrel and a short action Remingtion. This makes it weigh less than 9 lbs decked out. I use the 160 Accubond at 3050 ft/sec and recoil is fine with no brake. I built a friend a 325 WSM on a short action win and a #5 Lilja contour with no break and he loves it and using a 180 gr bullet @ 2975ft/sec and it kicks *** on Elk. Both rifles have laminated stocks for durability and stability. Using the short action and a SAUM or a WSM cartrige makes a lot of sense for a carry rifle and recoil is managable in an 8 lb rifle plus the overall length of the rifle is very handy. Just my 2 cents J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
