[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 874223, member: 10391"] I'm a die hard 06 guy so that is the caliber using 190gr Bergers @ 2707fps that is why the 700 yard limit. Until I rebuilt this rifle and turned it into a semi carry long range rifle it weighed in at 8.5 lbs loaded with the strap. At that weight shooting off ones knees was very comfortable but found the longer shots (over 300 yards) especially targets was hard to be steady so upgraded the rifle. Now the rifle is at 10.5 lbs +- and is great to use especially rested on something. Off the knees you can tell it's 10.5 lbs but still works pretty good. I'm now gathering the parts for a 300WM so I can get out to 1000 yards and it will be almost a copy of the 06 which is about perfect for my type of hunting and the steep terrain. [/QUOTE]
