[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 1371110, member: 4809"] I have a lot of heavy, long distance rifles. I felt I needed at least one lightweight rifle in a hard-hitting, medium lead-throwing caliber. I ended up going with the 270 WSM. Currently shooting 145 gr. ELD-X's just over 3,100 fps. Great caliber, but you will need to reload as ammo is very expensive. I have both a Browning A-Bolt and a Tikka T3 Light in the 270 WSM. Both are stock, about 6.5 lbs. amd shoot .75 MOA. Just something else to consider. Barrel life should still be decent, but a non-magnum will always get you further down the road in that department. [/QUOTE]
