[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1295561, member: 72601"] I've got a Browning 7mm mag with a pencil weight barrel that I bought for a strict hunting rifle. It's a sub moa rifle and I've taken it out to 750 yards with its 3-9 hunting scope with ok success. So yes they can be plenty accurate but after 3 shots you can nearly cook your dinner on the barrel. Generally when I'm hunting, at least for me anyways, I shoot one shot and it's over. Sometimes i shoot as many as 3 but not very often. So personally im wanting just a hunting rifle for moderate ranges then I'm perfectly ok with a lightweight rifle with a pencil barrel. I've got a heavy barreled target gun for anything else I need to do. [/QUOTE]
