[QUOTE="old_heli_logger, post: 219965, member: 7038"] Thanks Esshup!! ------------------------------------------ For me, some of the criteria were: How heavy of a gun am I willing to live with? --I'd like it to be a carry gun, I can pack a stout load though, so maybe ~18 lbs...less would be nice, but I'm after accuracy too How much recoil am I willing to take at the bench and at practice? --not a problem here... What will I be using it for? i.e. will I have to carry it for any length of time? --hunting and target shooting out to 1k... What critters will I be using it on? --everything :D (hence, the .375 caliber) How many shots per year do I plan on running thru it? --100 to 200...maybe a few more How much time and effort am I willing to spend reloading for it (that's also including the time to prep the brass if not an "off the shelf" cartridge). --I love the hobby of reloading, so this would be a hooooot! ------------------------------------------ Thanks again!
