[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 846730, member: 10306"] You can definitely put together a lightweight rig that will hold 1-1/2 MOA at 400 yards. I think that the key to that is to shoot a mild chambering. Most of the really lightweight guns I have seen that are accurate are .260 rem on the light side or a .284 win on the big side. You have to determine for yourself what you can shoot well weight wise, and go from there. I personally would rather pack a 10-12lbs rifle in 7 mag or bigger (like a .338:D). I feel that for 5-7 lbs extra, you get a lot more effective range. Most guys I see with 5lbs guns are HARDCORE sheep hunters that live out of their packs for 2 weeks or more and the weight is a big issue. [/QUOTE]
