[QUOTE="BJH, post: 1151960, member: 93876"] It is very similar to the Ackley version. Kreiger is an excellent choice. I have never heard anyone complain about them. My rifle is right at 15# bare. It is a little excessive for a packing rifle for sure. Especially when you add optics and all the other gear. I think a #5 would be just great. Even a #4 would be good and cut a little more weight. The more weight the better you will shoot at longer range though, as you already know I'm sure, just something to think about when making your decision. It all depends on what you want. You don't need a 9" twist for that bullet. But, what if you get a bug one day and want to run something heavier? It will shoot the 150-160 just fine, but allow you to run heavier if you want. I went with the idea of myself being to weakest link in the shooting system and overbuilt my rifle for my capabilities at the time. I am a far better marksman today because it has made me want to push myself to see what the rifle is capable of. You are on the right track I think. Pick what fits you and your son best and have fun with it. [/QUOTE]
