[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 510073, member: 20245"] A light weight scope in the 4-16power range with a 40mm objective sounds good for a lightweight LR rifle build. However like many other newbies here try, you cannot cram 3 vastly different task into one rifle. There is no way you will be competitive in f-class or BR with an 8.5lb rifle, unless there is some really specialized class at your local shoots for custom hunting rifles. Not to mention rapid strings of fire through thin barrels is horrible for barrel life. What caliber are you thinking about? 7WSM, 7-300WSM, and 6.5-284 come to mind if i were to build one like this. Should be a great rifle, make sure you get a good trigger, as shooting light rifles at long range can be tricky, especially with a excessively heavy trigger. [/QUOTE]
