[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 575234, member: 3733"] +1 You have not said what you want to use it for, what bullet and what distance. If you want a 200 yard deer rifle go with a #2 If you want a 400 yard deer rifle go with a #3 600 yard #4 800 yard #5 1000 yard rem varmit If your building anything under a 600 yard rifle than just get a 7mm-08, then your "light" rifle won't need a muzzle brake. I don't see the point in a barrel lighter than a #4 for a mid to LR rig. A few but not many guys are experienced or capable enough to consistantly shoot a 6 lb rifle, past 400-500 yards. For one a rifle that light needs to be held tight, ever see what your heart beat does to the crosswire on a 7lb rifle off a bipod when your shooting at a 150" buck? [/QUOTE]
