[QUOTE="bruno t, post: 971072, member: 78680"] I'm shooting a kimber 8400 double a french walnut stock. In 270 wsm, with scope leupold 4.5-14 vx3 boone n crocket reticle. The thing weighs 8 pounds with 4 rounds and scope.trust meim having problems keeping it from hopping around after every shot. I'm currently shooting 600 yard bench restwith it. Factory ammo dosent have much recoil, but my handloads are insane. I'm going to load down and hope I still have accuracy. 6- 14 inch groupsare what I'm getting. This rifle shoots half inch 3shot groups at 100. Barrel heat and light weight realy suckwhen your trying to be precise. I'm even thinking about a muzzle break, because I know it will shoot 2.5-4 inch groups at600 yds. Lightweight is good for out west but not benchrest. The wind was blowing my shots 9 inchesto the right today. I like using a flat shooting caliber compard to the guys using 6mm dasher or 6mm creedmoor.
