[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1269162, member: 1656"] I'm a bit confused by this post. What is the PRIMARY purpose? Will the rifle be braked? If not, I can't imagine much less pleasant than a titanium/carbon 300WM for banging steel. I'd only build such a beast if I required a backpacking rifle for rough territory that still hit hard. And even then, really light guns are more difficult to shoot well at long range, despite what inherent accuracy the rifle may have. And if I wanted to bang steel I'd likely leave that rifle at home, or put it back in the case after just a few shots. At 9lbs, couldn't you get there with more conventional (and cheaper) materials? I've got a Sendero in 300WM. It's hardly a light gun. But it is stable for long range shooting and I've backpacked it 10 miles into wilderness areas. Still, if I want to bang steel with it, I have to throw a towel over my shoulder or I'm going to be bruised the next day. Now, braking it changes the equation. [/QUOTE]
