[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 1923662, member: 108965"] I have a question for you, what's the max distance you are comfortable taking a shot at an animal? I ask because this can help determine the best cartridge for you. If your max range is 600 yds then you don't need a magnum, a 7mm-08 or 308 Win will do, I am a 7mm fan so I would pick the 7mm-08 with a 24" barrel and you can keep it under 8.5 or 9 lbs. If you're shooting to 800 yds then a 7mm Rem Mag with a 26" and keep ir under 10 lbs. The 300 Win Mag is another great option If longer range than that then a 28 Nosler pr 300 PRC will be good, that said I'd go with ths 28. I say this because no need to get a barrel burner id you dont need it, now if you want it and have the itch then by all means, scratch it and have fun shooting it. Like [USER=101677]@Canhunter35[/USER] mentioned, big magnums and ultra lite dont always go together well, but no need to carry a 12 lb beast either. Hope this helps and stay safe [/QUOTE]
