[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 677552, member: 2736"] If I only had one choice for a dedicated long range rifle for Hunting it would be close to these requirements = Weight would be somewhere between 10 and 12 pounds fully dressed. Caliber would be eather one of the big 30s (300 rum,300 Rumbo or the 30/378) or a 338 with the 338 rum being the smallest and the Excalibur as the largest. Bullets would range from the 200 to 250 grain in the .30 and 225 to 300 grain in the 338s. With the appropriate scope for the intended range. Even though I own one and love its power and performance, even with hunting type bullets, The 50 cal is not a hunting rifle and only comes into its own at distances beyond 1000 yards and with the physical weight required it is impractical and even outlawed is some states for hunting. Just my choices J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
