[QUOTE="Threejs, post: 1495920, member: 90753"] Before you dump $4k+ on a set up think of a couple things. First, a lot of Outfitters don’t want you taking long shots. Most will be less than 400yds. Second, guides hate muzzle brakes. Third, there is a chance if your flying that your ammo will be confiscated. Ask your outfitter what he uses. He will have ammo. Nothing wrong with your ole faithful 270. You know it well. It’s better to be in great physical condition than to worry about 1/2# of rifle. You can shave that 1/2# with better clothing and light gear. I beat myself up about a rifle. I finally got a Rem 700 AWR in 270 because my outfitter said he uses a 270. I had the cheapest rifle in camp and made the longest shot. My 9# rifle was no big deal because I was in good shape and had a good pack. [/QUOTE]
