[QUOTE="shamu2240, post: 1616602, member: 87202"] It's a name I picked up in the Marines from a scout sniper buddy of mine, I'm not a sniper just good friends with a few. I forget how it actually came about, but it stuck for the rest of the deployment. As for the rifle it comes in at 6.8 lbs. I haven't weighed it with scope/rounds yet, I need to do that. I wanted a light rifle because of the type of terrain I hunt here in CA and I want to start going on regular elk hunting trips and experience what the different states have to offer. I went to colorado a few years ago and had an amazing time. Planning one right now for Idaho in October. Ounces equal lbs and lbs equal pain. I have two other 300 win mags and I have always really liked this rd. I feel that this will be able to take on any game animal I will be hunting with it. I think the biggest thing I will be going after is elk, but maybe in the distant future if I go after moose or the like it'll be an excuse to get a another new rifle. For now, this rifle is more than enough for me. Plus theres always 300 win mag on the shelves, even out here in CA....even at Dicks sporting goods......I know shocker hahaha. I completely agree with you on the heavier bullet choice but now that CA is switching over to completely lead free ammo i gotta put it to use so I figured barrel break in would be good for that. I'm going to be reloading for this rifle too. Thanks for the info and advice. Keep it coming. [/QUOTE]
