[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1064181, member: 1940"] I use an Allen Precision custom that weighs 8 lbs plus a couple ounces, scoped with a NF 2.5-10. I'm not going to carry a heavy rifle on a backpack hunt. I chose the NF because I trust the turrets, and the glass is good enough. I've shot out to almost 1100 yards with this set-up, and shot at marmots to 1000. I find that 10X is enough. I'm thinking of picking up one of the Cooper ultra lights when they become available. I like the idea of a 6 lb 7 mag with a half MOA accuracy guarantee. I used to shoot a couple of Kimber Montana's that were sub-moa rifles, and had no problems hitting marmots out around the 600 yard mark. Only medium range, but I'm okay with that. [/QUOTE]
