[QUOTE="PAshooter20BR, post: 1399377, member: 98445"] I have the same setup gun I described in original Post above and it weighs 10.5 lbs with exception of a different scope, but I run a detachable mag system and steel rings. By switching to ultra light rings and Hawkins bottom metal I am fairly certain that I would still be in the 10.5 lb range with a NF. My current gun, a 6.5x47 with a bat tactical action and a #3 bartlien normally holds at least 1/2 Moa to 650 yards, which is farthest I have shot this gun. The gun has shot multiple sub inch groups at 300 yards. I guess my question was if I could achieve the same thing with a 300 win mag in this style setup and be able to maintain control of the larger caliber rifle with a brake and shoot it accurately to 1000 yards I would describe it as the best hunting gun I could possess. I am am really seeing here a common theme of 12 lb guns from everyone's replies, which really puts one in the Remington sendero Contour of barrel. A mcmillan hunter stock cannot be opened any more than the number 3 bartlien there just isn't any material left to remove. It would be best to jump up to the Remington hunter which is the same style stock but allowing for a heavy barrel channel. Just not sure what the right way to go is. Thanks for everyone's input so far. Brandon [/QUOTE]
