[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 3469, member: 8947"] Bear, if LR target shooting is what you are after, I would recommend the many 6mm cases starting with the 6BR going to the improved wildcats using the 22/250 case. Improved 243's are very hard on the throat. The wildcats you are looking at are also very tough on throats. 105 to 115gr bullets at 3000fps will get you to 1000yds and beyond. Recoil is very comfortable in a portable rifle. If you put a brake on it, you could build one under 8lbs and it will feel like a 22LR. If you also want to do some hunting, then I would strongly recommend a muzzle brake with whatever you choose. I would look at the 6.5mm as the smallest calibre for LR hunting and work up from there. I know a guy that has a very expensive custom titanium rifle in 300win mag. With its muzzle brake, it is a light recoiling rifle and at under 6lbs loaded, a joy to carry. Not sure who made it but it shoots well. You don't need to get beat up to shoot LR. Jerry [/QUOTE]
