Totally your choice, but that doesn't make it THE RIGHT choice for everyone. some guys can lug around a 16 lb rifle. If someone can't lug around a 16 lb rifle, how are they going to pack out a 900 lb Bull?
So are you suggesting a 16 pound rifle is ideal for everything? Jumping whitetail in heavy cover (as per my example), sheep at 9000 feet, the African brush...Really? There is a big difference between lugging a 16 pound rifle and being quick with it at the end of a long day.
You assume I dont own and use 16 pound rifles?
You assume I don't comfortably pack out 120+ pounds at a time?
You attempted to pick apart my post with no consideration to its thought process....and attempted some sort of odd internet bushwack....You brought nothing of value and come across like you only have one rifle?
If you have a point to make...make it.
The 338 Lapua has value, but you come across like another new supporter owner that has never pulled the trigger? I have shot the 338 Lapua since its introduction in the 80s and have a firm and realistic grasp of its abilities. I am here to assure you that the 338Lapua is not magic dust at 1000 yards.
