[QUOTE="dbs1, post: 1135549, member: 91085"] Sounds like a good choice. As I've gotten older with rotator cuff and neck issues I can't pack a heavy rifle all that long and one with heavy recoil wasn't what I wanted either. I own 5 browning A bolts and just bought my daughter an X bolt. I've bought several used for $500-$600, spent $200-$300 to bed, float, trigger and brake them and the .270WSM with the factory synthetic stock with Leupold 6.5x20x50 will shoot 6" groups at 700 yards and I'm comfortable out to 800 yards using 140 gr Nosler AB's @3100fps. I realize I'm an intermediate shooter to many on here, but if you are used to shooting 300-400 yards as your long shot now, you will think doubling that with kill zone shots as pretty impressive and with a bipod on that setup and a nylon Velcro cheek piece with zippered pouch and 10 rounds it weighs 10.5 lbs and the recoil is very manageable. I've got $1500 into that rig and although I'd love to have a browning mountain TI in that same caliber to save another lb or so, I feel what I have is a very affordable and accurate setup for what I shoot (200"Mulie, 400" Elk, several Coues). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
