[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 714011, member: 2011"] I voted 15+ as I want to be prepared for the max distance of the rifle. That distance is 1500 for one rig and well beyond that for the other. One weighs 14.8 (270 AM) and the other 19 (375 AM). My 8.5 pound rig (338 RUM) is relegated to walk and stalk with a 800 yd limit if a solid prone position can be achieved. I "feel" I am more consistent with the heavier straight breaking rifle at ELR even though all three rifles are of equal accuracy potential at the shooting range. Field conditions always, to me, favor the heavier rifle. Even better if a major portion of the weight can be behind the action. [/QUOTE]
