[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 877037, member: 55230"] I have a 280 light varmint 24" on a mcmillan edge stock. It will absolutely accomplish what you want. Tho I haven't weighed my gun I'm sure it is under 10lbs thats w/ 6-24x42mm. The AI on the same set up will do it w/ a little more velocity. Am I squeezing every bit of velocity out of my round, no but the deer don't know that. For all intensive purposes it is more than adequate for what the op wants. The edge stock saves a ton of weight, and surprisingly my gun balances ok. A lighter barrel and it would be cherry. If I were the op I'd do this: Mcm edge stock, heavy 24" sporter or magnum (or as heavy as you can get away with) barrel, talley base/rings and a light scope. That should bring you in nice and light yet capable of what you want. Or get a carbon wrapped barrel and go as long as you want w/ weight being of little concern. I was just informed they are running about $900 for the brand my buddy has. [/QUOTE]
