[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 3073400, member: 61747"] You can likely get 2900 plus out of a 156 and a Sherman or prc si and an 18”. My 18” prc runs 2815 with a 156. I run carbons on all my hunters for the weight vs strength and I hate the look of a pencil barrel. Also, a pencil barrel is difficult to get a good mb attached for recoil management and spotting shots if hunting solo. Weight is an issue of diminishing returns and not typical of a long range hunter for many reasons but I cannot see why a person needs a rilfe capable of accuracy with strings of fire so moot point i suppose. First shot and potential follow up are it. I would target you light rifle of choice and save the weight on an ultra light optic like a 3-10x40, pull your range in a bit, and call it good. [/QUOTE]
