[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 1923313, member: 59526"] So for the task you have in mind I bought a Winchester M70 extreme weather SS in 30-06 and dropped it in a Mcmillan gamescout w/edge fill and it’s topped with a Zeiss V4 4-16x44. It sits right at 8lbs. At 5k ASL it also delivers ~2000ft/lbs at 500 yards. Recoil isn’t that bad due to the stock but the barrel being so thin does make the rifle want to dance around on the target and it gets REALLY hot really quick. If I could do it over I’d go for a #3 or #4 contour and put up with a wee bit of weight added. [/QUOTE]
