[QUOTE="megastink, post: 2041694, member: 33429"] I'd love to see some lightweight-medium weight Magnum builds you guys have done. Preferably hunting rifles. I've wanted a 7mm Rem Mag for years. I can't tell you why I want that specific cartridge, but my gut won't let me not have it. I hunt eastern Pa where the deer and bear don't need much more punch than my .270 can dish. I'm debating putting a 7mm Mag together from Savage parts this winter to satisfy my craving, but I want it to be practical for my hunting; not overbearing to carry (sub 10lbs scoped), probably heavy sporter weight barrel in the 24-26" category, braked. I want to be able to put it over my shoulder and walk around these tall hills looking for new vantage points. And should a shot at 500-700 present itself, cleanly and confidently take it. My .270win is capable of doing that now, but the 7mm will also be my primary bear rifle, and I want the stopping power that caliber provides. [/QUOTE]
