Right at 10 pounds, I have a double strap I’ll throw in, bought it here

I’m lowering the price on this rifle. I’m selling a custom Winchester Model 70. This rifle began its life as a featherweight and I had it re-barreled and re-stocked along with a Timney trigger upgrade. It was always chambered for the 7mm WSM cartridge It now has a 26” stainless Bartlein...

It’s right at 10 pounds

Always a 7mm Wsm

Like I said, not legal in my state

Your second paragraph is exactly what I said

Frankly, I don’t think 140 is enough for an Elk past about 100 yards based on FPE And I really don’t get not being comfortable shooting something the size of an elk past 100 yards

Look, I’m sure you’re a nice guy I’m not looking for an argument, I just can’t imagine the reasoning for the original post BTW, a 6.5mm isn’t a legal caliber in Kentucky for elk

Even a blind squirrel can find acorns

Most folks cite it at an 18” diameter. Some go bigger so it’s almost beach ball size

You’re missing the point, at 200 or 300 yards I’m not “holding over” I’ve killed more groundhogs at 400 yards than you’ve killed elk at that range. And I never touched the elevation on my scope but you do it your way

I said nothing about a deer I said kill zone on an elk and I still stand by never sighting in a hunting rifle at 100 yards.

Why would you zero at 100 yards when your desired target is an elk? I’d be 3” high at 100 and I’d have a shot where I could hold dead on to 400 yards, given the kill zone for an elk. Secondly, I wouldn’t shoot an elk with a 143 grain bullet at over 100 yards anyway.
