[QUOTE="Jay Kyle, post: 1001832, member: 347"] Broz - JFSeaman - thanks both for your insights as I value both of your experiences. If I were to graph Rifle weight vs effective distance for upto Long Range Hunting (and all that includes) - and average that across many shooters and many rifles - I wonder where the sweet spot would be - I would guess somewhere around a 12 lb rifle all in for a 1200-1300 yd shot. Another factor is stock design - I find my A-5 may be "too prone" and feels a bit awkward for off-hand shooting - so that represents one end of the scale. I find a Sendero's stock seems too streamlined and is "too offhand" to be a good prone stock - that represents the other end of the spectrum. I have looked hard at the TRR - but the cost puts me back into building another custom rifle. As always ..looking for thoughts Jay [/QUOTE]
