[QUOTE="dogz, post: 2380984, member: 5429"] If you don't mind, what do you have in the gun safe as of now? A kimber Ascent in 280 Ack or .270 would be an incredible beast. Or if you have a bit more cheddar have Melvin of NULA build you one with a #2 barrel cut to 24". I have a Montana in .308 with a 6x36 Leo on it, it shoots 3/4" at the bench but is too light for me for killing on demand at 400 yards plus. Point being, I've found I shoot my NULA/270 mucho better. It's about a pound heavier and that really helps with my crappy technique...:) My NULA with a 2-8 Leo with M1 on top weighs right at 7 "all up" (scoped, rounds, sling). With the #2 barrel @ 24" it's incredibly user friendly and I feel like I can kill on demand to 500 (which is plenty darn far for me anymore........). I've carried the heavier magnums quite a bit but didn't like them to be over 8.5 lbs "all up". Lastly, I do find that the heavier barrels out front help me to settle down when the chips are down and I have to make it happen right now! For myself, I like the stock to be 28 ounces or less, the barrel to be between .62" and .65" at 23-24" and I like the scope to be no more than 16 ounces. Lastly, the sling with hardware no mas than 4 ouces. Just my way and something to consider, if you ever get out this way let me know and we'll go put a couple thru the wringer so to speak. [/QUOTE]
