[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2675596, member: 113623"] It looks to me like you have a pretty solid rifle that balances weight and performance. Not questioning your motives, but have you tried shooting a rifle in the weight category you are looking at? You may be giving up your consistent long range accuracy and shooting comfort for a few ounces. Super light rifles are touchy and unforgiving even under ideal shooting conditions. I had a .308 Field Craft which I ended up selling and have been personally much happier with a little extra rifle weight. Even when I brought my A game, that was not a rifle I felt comfortable reaching much past 300 yards with. My point is to make sure you are not about to dump a paycheck on something that gives up being good at everything else to be the best at one thing, unless you are 100% confident that is what you want. Then by all means, good luck finding the perfect rifle. [/QUOTE]
