I've been looking at the longrange guns for a few weeks now, reading everything I can. What I am seeing, consistently, are heavy barrels, heavy stocks, big, long, heavy packages in general...
Anyone out there accomplish longrange proficiency with a lighter weight, packable rig? I hunt the mountains alot, hike for miles and miles each day. There are times I've seen nice bulls at 500-800+ yards and just couldnt do anything about it. Most the time, after trekking for many days, I end up getting a good close shot, but I must admit, taking one further out when I have the chance would be just fine!
Whatchya got? Lightweight, LR?
Thanks!
