[QUOTE="Down Under Hunter, post: 173989, member: 8486"] When I was researching my first custom rifle I was looking for something very much like you descibed. I had used a 300 weatherby mag vanguard factory rifle out to ranges around 500 yards and wanted the next step. Considering I would be using it to take down 600 lb deer, all the elk rifles were considered with 500-1000 yards being its main field of fire considered. I ended up settling on the 338 edge by Defensive edge setup in a fairly light packable package sub 12 lbs. Enough weight to be shootable, but light enough to pack in just about anywhere. I felt it would be a good balance to be an excellent sit and snipe rifle. Like most it will shoot a proven 300 smk load and the rifle can dial to 2000 yards with the 22 x NXS NIGHTFORCE scope. Planning on also using the lighter 250 rbbt wildcat when they hit the market. The thing that I liked was the calibre had proven itself and I spoke to lots of satisfied owners. It also ended up coming in well within my budget, when some other couldn't. You have plenty to choose from, this is just how I selected one ? Good luck [/QUOTE]
