[QUOTE="adiredneck, post: 1929805, member: 43329"] My savage Lwh 30-06 tips the scales at 6 pounds, 11 ounces with a Leupold VX-3 3-9x40 scope and weaver steel rings. I can’t imagine a huge difference with a 7mm mag as far as recoil. Perhaps I have this whole thing backwards. I should probably get an upgraded optic first for my 116 and do some experimenting this year. If I find that it doesn’t fit the bill, I can upgrade the rifle and transfer the scope over the winter. That’ll give me all spring and summer next year to get it dialed in. I have 20+ months to get this figured out. [/QUOTE]
