[QUOTE="UplandFreak, post: 1923428, member: 111854"] In my mind an ultra light rifle starts at sub 6lbs and then ends sub 7lbs all in. Thats just my opinion. Ultra light and long range really aren’t super compatible - a 9-10lb rifle is a good compromise. Also, a sub 7lb rifle should make it easier to hoof it within 500 yards for a good shot. I have a ton of confidence in my current set up - there are a couple things I don’t love about it tho....it has a 26” barrel plus a brake. It sucks to bust through brush with it. It has the detachable mag. Once again crawling through brush with it attached to my pack I have had a branch hit the mag release and drop my magazine. Luckily my hunting partner was behind me and grabbed it. For those reasons, my next rifle will be an ultra light set up with a short barrel and preferably just a blind magazine. [/QUOTE]
