[QUOTE="ccsykes, post: 55089, member: 2288"] I have a 300 WBY so recoil is not a real concern. I was looking at a lightweight gun in the 4.5-5lb range unscoped. I will be reloading for this gun and I was looking in the price range of up to 3000 for the gun. I have looked at the Ultra Light Arms rifles, but it appears for a long action (the 257 would be a long action), the weight is going to be 5+ pounds. I would be using this rifle for mid size game around where I live and varmits such as bob cats, foxs, and maybe a coyote. Beavers are a posibility along with crows. Distances can possible push 500-600 yrds. I will also be shooting paper. I am thinking about a muzzle break as well. The gun I shot had one and it did not seem overly loud. Another question I have is optics. I have three leupolds (one on the 300, one on a 3006 and a small one on a 30-30). I was told to look at swarovski, schmidt and bender, night force, kahles, and zeiss. Are there any recomendations? [/QUOTE]
