[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1122827, member: 6330"] I have a Remington 700 fitted with heavy (40X barrel) in 7 mm Remington Magnum. I used it at the Allegheny Sniper Challenge in the mountains of West Virginia, years ago. I will not carry that rifle in the field any more, it is a heavy pig. Have a new Bartlein barrel in Remington Varmint to replace it with when I shoot up the ammo I have loaded up for it. I would suggest the light Palma contour. It should do everything needed in a long range hunting rifle. Other disadvantage of a HB rifle in flying on a float plane with a serious weight limit. When I flew to the arctic, we were limited to 65 pounds total. Choice between a sleeping bag and a light rifle or just a HB rifle is not realistic. Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
