[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2574583, member: 109994"] I have no recommendations on weight or barrel length, but I would look at a lower recoil cartridge like a 308. That will help especially if you're using a brake. Longer barrel on a 308 will give you more velocity and a bit more reach. If you don't plan on practicing a LOT, a shot at game farther than 500-600 yards would be a hail mary due to wind drift, so a 308 would be perfectly suitable. Plus, there's tons of ammo for the 308.
