[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1159093, member: 39764"] You didn't state that in your opening post, you stated: [B].....I have: Kimber Montana 84L in 270 win, Leupold VX2 3-9x40, Talley lightweight rings low. Not super exciting but the price is not too bad. Rifle is 5 lbs 10 ounces prior to mods. Scope is 11 ounces. Mods will bring the rifle weight down to maybe 5 lbs 5-7 ounces. However! I'm not sure it can actually shoot 1000 yards accurately. I still need to practice more and figure out exactly how accurate the gun is. The gunsmith who mounted the scope took it to the range and said it shoots sub-MOA (as advertised), so that's something. [/B] It cannot shoot accurately at 1000 yards, it might get that far but you'll be hard pressed to hit anything consistently and I don't see you seeing what you are shooting at with a 3-9 x 40 anything..... and...you won't have enough kinetic energy to effect a kill on anything but maybe paper. Like everyone said, light and long don't marry too well. You have to pay to play, not only weight but components too. Myself, I have a 338 Lapua tank with a 6.5 x 25 x 50 side focus with tall turrets, one of those sticks that requires a lackey to carry.....lol Don't really need it but I have it anyway. I should sell the SOB. I groan even picking it up..... [/QUOTE]
