[QUOTE="magnum, post: 55441, member: 2432"] I'm from Brisbane, Australia and I am new to this website and new to long range hunting too. I'm actual coming out of 20+ years of inactivity as a shooter and hunter. I have a custom 308 Norma Magnum built on a M98. It was built as a hunting rifle and is weighs accordingly not much more than 9 lbs loaded. It's currently carrying a 2-7X Leupold but that will be changed shortly for a 3.5-14X50 LPS Leupold. It's not a bad shooter for a hunting rifle. I've read of the semi-benchrest weight rifles that some long range hunters carry into the field (15-16lbs ++) and that seems a bit on the heavy side for me. I'd be done after I walked a couple of miles lugging that weight plus a pack not to mention climbed some hills or mountains. Let me hear what you use and how they shoot. Magnum [/QUOTE]
