[QUOTE="roninflag, post: 428568, member: 5691"] the 30-06 is an excellent long range cartridge. go to riflemansjournal.com . both of my 06's are very light , rem 700 mtn , and a rem 700 titanium. they both have lower powered scopes than my heavier long range rifles. i shoot a 168 berger with 50.6 grain of varget , lapua brass. 2820 fps in the 30-06. my 7mm mag is 2920 with a 168. not a real big difference. i have had a harder time personally "holding " the light weight rifles. one shoots 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards. technically that should translate into better groups than i have bee able to produce at the longer ranges. your adl is ever so slightly heavier. adjust the trigger. load up some good stuff at see what it will do. another good bullet is the 168 balistic silver tip. roninflag [/QUOTE]
