[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2547330, member: 68875"] Lightweight and heavy recoiling rifles are MUCH harder to shoot well. If you plan to keep the suppressor, I would say not less than 10# all in for a 300WM w. Can. Put a good 5 port brake, and 9# becomes manageable. Something like a 7RM pushing a 175-184 would lighten up the recoil impulse, but still be enough for elk. You could also shave weight down to 8# all in. I would look at a Kelbly Nanook, Defiance AnTi X, or Lone Peak Fuzion Ti to get action weight down. Something like a CF or #3 fluted, full carbon fiber non-adjustable stock like a Manners EH1, and a BDL. Scope of choice is where you can shave or add weight pretty quickly too. Balance quality and features with weight and price. [/QUOTE]
