[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1808153, member: 21524"] If you can swing it, build 2 or 3 great ones. This is just me but I’d pick a smaller cartridge (.223 or 6mm) that you will shoot most often in a rifle that weighs 10-11lbs and is great for deer, a larger cartridge for a medium/large game hunting rifle (something 7mm or larger, but also weighs ~10-11lbs scoped) and then a dedicated LR rig in the same caliber but where weight isn’t an issue. That’ll let you shoot a lot, minimize the reloading burden, and let you get proficient with the cartridge. [/QUOTE]
