[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2143082, member: 879"] I had a light 300 Win Mag which I sold this Fall for this very reason--it was no fun to shoot, even though it was very accurate with its preferred ammo. Since you are hunting elk, you don't want to go too light on the cartridge. If you can find a balance between power and weight that will be comfortable/tolerable to shoot and still light enough to carry that is the perfect rifle everyone is looking for. If you absolutely hate muzzle brakes, there is one that I thought was different. You can open it when you want the brake and then close it when you don't want the brake/blast/noise. I would love to try one on a truly long range rifle that I would be trying to keep under 12 lbs. They are made/installed by [URL]https://www.eabco.com/brockmanbrake.html[/URL] I sure would appreciate a review from anyone who has one. [/QUOTE]
