[QUOTE="MontanaMarine, post: 23836, member: 268"] Thanks guys for your feedback, My interest in LR shooting is pretty limited by your standards. I like rifles I can carry around, 16-17 pounds/26-27" barrels, is the absolute heaviest I am willing to go. My 30-06 is about 15 lbs. .308 goes 12 lbs. Eventually I'm going to build a .338WinMag with a 27" #8 barrel, aiming for about 17 lbs. I know these cartridges lack the ballistic stimulation of your 2000 yd, 416 based boomers. But I'm really only interested in maximum ranges of around 1000-1300 yards. Thats about the limit of my optics/cartridge/weight limit. A LRF 1200 is about all I am willing to spend on a laser as well. Back in my Montana, at 4000 ft elevation, my cartridge choices deliver what I consider good performance out to 1300: 30-06/240grSMK@2550MV Yards: 1300 Vel: 1354 Energy: 978.2 Traj: -47.8 moa .338WM/300grSMK@2550MV Yards: 1300 Vel: 1415 Energy: 1334 Traj: -46.1 moa This performance satisfies me.
