[QUOTE="Boman, post: 221908, member: 819"] My rifle weighs 5 3/4lbs or about 7lbs with scope. I am comfortable with it to around 1000yds. I haven't had the opportunity for anything farther than that yet so I feel its a good set up. I like to hunt the timber sometimes so I really like having a very light and handy rifle. My set up is a .340wby,24" #2 lilja barrel. You don't need a heavy rifle to shoot long range. They key for me is a bipod or pack up front and a rear support of somekind. I have a self made poly bead made "pillow" for a rear rest. I can't imagine carrying around a 17lb rifle. That doesn't sound like fun. At the range yes but not in the field. [/QUOTE]
