I had initially said my 300 RUM....and that caliber is a beast but so is it's weight at 12 lb. Thought I was going to die on this past year's elk hunt...lugging that thing , a lot different than the 2lb recurve I had carried the years before...

And on that note ..
I have decided on the 264 win mag with a mcmillan edge fill stock barrel is a #3 fluted benchmark..
Pieces are either at the smith or enroute via UPS to my smith..
 
DX---you're beginning to get on the right track there......12 lb elk rifles no thanks for this old wuss:)

Now that is a sheep rifle! 6 1/2 lbs with a 50mm obj is amazing. Throw some nice ceracote camo on it and it would be perfect ;)
 
Dogz, Yes you are correct, I just looked up the specs. Lex builds a accurate rifle. Its right at 4.8 lbs, 3 shot groups with reloader 25 at .05" or less at 3327 fps. Once I received it, was only rifle I ever used for everything. Now it sits in the safe. Thinking of possibly selling it.
