[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2210313, member: 1951"] Alex’s first post cannot be topped. Hit all the key points for me. A very logical process to get a great round selected. I’m not sure I add much to the op other than think about rifle weight as part of caliber selection. No reason to select a caliber in a vacuum. If you have to have a 7lb rifle, stick with 270 Win max. If you want a long range 338 mag, it should probably weigh 15 lbs scoped to be shootable. I’d consider 10lbs a light 338. That said, lots of good hunting can be done with a 9.5-10.5 lb rifle in a 30-06 offspring. 6-06 through 9.3x62.....even long range when you consider the Sherman’s... Did I mention they hold 5 in the mag? [/QUOTE]
