[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1743116, member: 13632"] For hunting and short strings, myth!! I've built magnums that weigh 6-6.5 lbs and hunting weight is 8 lbs with a heavier optic and shot three shot groups at 1000 yards in the 3.5-4 inch range. I've seen a 6 lb ready to hunt rifle in a none magnum shoot right there also, can you just flop it on the ground and let it rip heck no, you gotta shoot enough and train so it's flawless execution, put the work in!! A hunting rifle isn't a PRS rifle or a Bench rest rifle, we certainly can take some aspects of those and bring it into the equation though. My personal rifle right now is a 28 Nosler at 9 lbs, it's stupid accurate and it's very, very well balanced which is more important than just using shear weight to lock it down. My next build is going to be stupid light and probably a 338 SS because my hunting has evolved and I don't need a mile gun but a 0-800 yard super manuverable and light!! [/QUOTE]
