[QUOTE="Broz, post: 908540, member: 7503"] I would not see a reason to want one under 11 lbs with scope and pod. If I wanted a lighter rifle than that I would drop back to a 300 win. That said my 300 win is 11.6 lbs and I carry it in my pack. It will do anything I need a rifle to do out to 1000 and do it well. I think of the 338's for gong farther and want the weight for stability and reduced felt recoil to spot shots. Light 338's can get to jumping pretty good. Not saying the 338 Mags would not do a good job under 1000. They would indeed. Just not what I would want to be shooting in a light rifle. Jeff [/QUOTE]
