[QUOTE="Lyons7STW, post: 562799, member: 36853"] I like the 7mm 168 for several reasons. Especially when you can get it over 3000 fps. Which you can with the larger 7s. I still consider long range anything I have to compensate for. Especially if I have to hold off the bodyof the animal. So for me long range is conditional. I strive for a happy medium. I want a rifle I can carry and still be a solid platform. So 8-10 lbs. Flatter and faster gives you more leeway im range.estimation. Higher BC gives you more leeway in wind estimation. If you have a good range finder, plenty of time to calculate and dial and good drop info, the wind bucking capabilites is yoir hardest to overcome variable. Ex. I have a super accurate 308. I know it to a T. It drives tacks at the range when time is not an issue. I got frustrated with it on.coyotes because they would not stand to be ranged or dialed on. On the other hand my 22-250 is flat! A good guess on distance is all you need. But it is hard to compensate for in the wind. [/QUOTE]
