[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2847657, member: 68875"] My lightest rifle I own is about 8.5# scoped and suppressed. A 22" 6.5PRC/SI pushing a 140 Elite @ 3091fps. That is about as light as I want to go with a rifle with that kind of horsepower. I am building a lightish 22GT right now. Should come in about the same weight, maybe a couple oz lighter. But should produce far less recoil. It is "snappy" for sure. Shots are able to be self-spotted however. But, you better have great shooting form. I am not a fan of "Ultralight" rifles. Too hard to shoot extremely well. I misspoke on MV. 3091fps, not 3051fps. Scope is set on 15x. Hits were visible. [MEDIA=youtube]8LH-01DewL8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
