[QUOTE="trueblue, post: 436009, member: 10654"] Aussie, If you are only going to 6-800 yards, I would go with a 6.5 or 7mm and deal with less recoil with the 140-180gr bullets. These will have plenty of energy for what you are hunting. However, if you are set on the EDGE, which is a great caliber, I would give TMR ( aka R BROS RIFLES)on this site a PM and ask him about components, as he has built numerous EDGE's in the 10-10 1/2# range without optics. Put a Nightforce 5.5-22-50 scope on it and come in at 12 1/2# Shawn at Defensive EDGE would also be a great source for imformation on this. Also, might want to concider going to a 28" barrel to save alittle weight. You will give up about 30-50fps but will not make that much difference out to 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
