[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2029505, member: 78569"] I'm looking for some input on ultralight rifles with suppressors. Since this is a LR forum, lets begin the discussion by saying we are using a magnum cartridge for LR hunting on elk sized game to 1000 yards. I'd like the weight to be <6.5 lbs without suppressor. For magnums, I like 26" barrels. I think they are the best bang for the buck. Weight wise, a light contour is only 1 oz/inch at the muzzle. A few more extra inches doesn't add much weight but adds a lot of speed. CF barrels are 2x the price but do they really add that much in-field value with a suppressor? If one zeros the gun with the suppressor on, then the POI shift between suppressed and unsuppressed really doesn't matter right? [/QUOTE]
