[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 671608, member: 1940"] Plenty of good information and experience here already, but I'll throw mine in as well. I have always preferred to go light and mobile. I live and hunt in Colorado, where the mountains are steep and elevations high. Every ounce counts. My current big game rifle is a custom 270 WSM. This rifle goes about 8lbs scoped, and has been shooting a lot of groups in the .5 MOA range. I chose this rifle because it is light enough to pack around mile after mile, day after day, and heavy enough to settle and shoot well. The caliber is virtually identical to the 7 rem mag , and doesn't recoil heavy enough to require a brake to tame it. If I have ammo problems I can walk into Wal-Mart and expect to find more. [/QUOTE]
