[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 434084, member: 20245"] For me I'm building currently building 1 of 3 rifles I have (semi) planned. Current build in progress is a 6.5mm that will push 140s to 3400fps+ in a 26" bbl should weigh in at around 8-9lb finished. This is deer medicine to 1000yards (what I will use it for) hogs and varmints to 1400 (will take spotter shots and only in excellent conditions before shooting at hogs or any large animal over 1000yards). For a dedicated ELR (1000yards+) a 14-17lb 375 Allen Magnum is the optimal rifle IMO. For those very long shots a couple extra pounds helps steady the rifle and also balance out the heavy barrel. Then a carry gun would be a 6BR build on a mini-mauser with a lone wolf stock and leupold ultralight scope. I also have a 13lb 300 ackley magnum for intermediate LR. That covers most everything for my styles of hunting. I would enjoy having a selection of 7-10lb rifles as those are usualy the best balance of range vs mobility for me. [/QUOTE]
