[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 714013, member: 21068"] Of all the guns I've shot in my life, I'd have to say; the ones that weighed 11 lbs or more shot the most consistently precise and consistantly accurate. IME, the rifles that weigh 9 lbs ready to go don't shoot so hot, especially in 25-06 and bigger calibers. Some lightweight 6mm and 22's shot good, but not all. Just my experiences, plenty of others may shoot better than I can, but 11 lbs with scope, rings, bipod, sling and magazine full of ammo is about the lightest I can shoot consistantly well enough for long range............What I call long range is beyond 400 up to 1/2 mile maybe 1000. Anything over 1/2 mile is ELR in my book and calls for a [U]dedicated[/U] LR ONLY rifle that should weigh more, and 15-20# wouldn't be too much. Just my $.02. Jeff, how much does that LRKM you've ordered weigh with a NF 5.5-22X50 and good rings.?? [/QUOTE]
