[QUOTE="Ingwe, post: 1887367, member: 35101"] I think that what you are missing, and a few guys here are trying to tell you, is that you are asking ALLOT from one rifle. You are essentially looking for a short and light backpack-sized rifle that you can also take "North of the border to hunt big game" and "Shoot Elk and Bear downrange." That's a tall order for one rifle. You also keep mentioning the 7MMRemMag which is a BAD CHOICE to pair with a 20" barrel......you are going to lose WAY MORE than, as you said, "A few FPS." From a standard 26" to a 20" barrel it will be more like 200fps plus, with a HUGE fireball of un-burnt powder coming out of your muzzle. I think that you have to make a decision on what you will mostly do with the rifle and gear your choice based on that....compromising will leave you unhappy in either scenario. PS: maybe for your bowhunting with chance encounter with a Wolf, you might be better served with a handgun?? Then buy a rifle built to your specifications for big game/long range shooting?? My 2 cents anyway, good luck! [/QUOTE]
