[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2621066, member: 879"] Cholla, I thought Weatherby Vanguard 30-06 would be a good elk choice but surprised to see it weighs 7.5 lbs naked. No wonder your wife doesn't want to carry it! My Sauer 100 30-06 weighs only 6.7 lbs naked and that is about as heavy as I want to carry. I am a little worried about a lighter rifle than that with more power than 6.5 PRC. Lighter heavier kickers will be harder to shoot accurately out to 800 yards. As everyone here knows, I recommend Sauer without reservation, but if you do go lighter than 6.7 lbs, better get a brake to go with it. Everyone says recoil doesn't bother them, you can't get around physics or human physiology even though some won't admit it. This is your wife (your life) you are dealing with here. [/QUOTE]
