[QUOTE="Cruizin, post: 727894, member: 7095"] I like a 12 poundish rifle. Its been my experience that shots past 800 yrds on game can be tricky with any gun and caliber unless you have practiced a lot. I won't take a shot past 800 yrds on game so that allows me to use smaller calibers and go with lighter rifles. I feel anything under 9.5 lbs is just too light unless you are only shooting out to 300 yrds or so. All these big huge magnum cartridges I feel are overkill and a good shot placement is the most important thing. Just my 2 cents... [/QUOTE]
