My 7 mm Rem weighs 7lbs 12oz fully loaded !(was lighter , but added a Swar 3.5X18)
Won't shoot over 600yds.
Have a 300 Win had stays home cause its not needed!
It would take me all day to shoot 100 rounds,what with letting the rifle cool ever 3 shots!
I will try 10 rounds with my 25-06 as soon as I can get to the range!
As I said before I bought a steel one(5.4oz) put a 4.5X14X40 Leupold on it with Tally lite one piece ring/base 1lb3oz
That brings it to less than 6.5lbs empty! Nice and light!
Getting 3100 FPS with 64.7 gr RL25 142 gr AB
Not sure why Wolf Pub. got more powder at that FPS,but I quit there.
I use...
The whole group has a left lean,if the whole group was shifted right 2" it would look better.
But no I would not head afield with that rifle no matter what I was hunting.
When I was a young man(many years ago)I traded for a Reminton Automatic 30-06.
That rifle was only capable of 4" at 100...
