[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2576089, member: 1951"] Honestly, I pick a rifle with a little extra weight, a little more scope than I need, and a little more power than I need. My mule deer/elk rifle is a 10.5lb custom with a 28oz 3-15x ffp optic in 300 Sherman. I probably should have went with a fast twist 270 Sherman, 6.5 Sherman, 6.5x280ai, 6.5x284….but I wanted just a bit more umph on elk. I considered a lighter stock, lighter optic and even a lighter barrel, bu5 I wanted something I could drop in a decent rest and hit stuff with it. Super light can be unbalanced or finicky about the hold. Good luck. Also, don’t forget about factory or premium factory rifles. There is some great stuff coming out of the factory nowadays. [/QUOTE]
