[QUOTE="Ragnarnar, post: 1303530, member: 98218"] A 308 with factory gold medal match 168's hits optimum barrel length at 18 inches. I wouldn't complain if I had two extra inches. Also if youcan't handle a 12 pound gun, a 8.5-9 pound gun won't make any difference. But I get the need for a new gun. Happens to me a couple times a year. For my money, I'd get a 6.5 CM or similar. I'd also go the custom route either on a custom or trued action with a premium barrel chambered by a reputable smith. I've heard accounts of 22 inch barrels getting 2800+ with hand loads, which can do the work on deer or similar out to 600-700 yards. Best [/QUOTE]
