[QUOTE="Hoss50, post: 2837569, member: 109801"] 8lbs and big 30 cal or 338 sounds painfully. Build a good 7mm something and send it. I am in the process of putting together a 300 win mag for long range, but it will be a 10-12lb gun. I have an 8.5lb 338 win mag with a small brake that I am going to work on for mountain type rifle but it isn't fun to shoot. I changed the recoil pad so hopefully that helps, but with a pencil barrel and small brake it hits. It was pushing 225gr bullet at almost 3k though during load development. I have a suppressor now so hopefully that helps too, but that adds 1lb to the rifle. The plan for this gun is a sub 500 yard type gun, but is easier to carry and will hammer. [/QUOTE]
