[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1324816, member: 68875"] I have a lighter weight carry rifle in 7RM @ 9.5# for deer/elk. Bartlein 26" #3 fluted w. APA Micro brake, Manners EH-2, R700 LA BDL, Seekins alloy Picatinny, Seekins alloy rings. It wears a fait heavy S&B PMII 3-20×50 @ 32oz. Take 8 oz off with the March, and it would be 9# even. It shoots everything except the 175 ELD-X phenomenally. 160 NAB, 160 TMK, 168 HVLD (3075fps), 175 SGK (3010fps), 180 Hybrid (2996fps & my favorite hunting/shooting load), 183 SMK (2987fps). It is a relatively new build for me at just over a year old. But it took 2 elk last year by family members. My 14 year old daughter took a big fat cow at about 75 yards with the 180 Hybrid.
