[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 813604, member: 67515"] I use a Kimber 8400 in .300 WM with a Leupold VX6 3x18 scope. All total is 8 1/2 lb. I know the 26" barrel is pretty small but I don't expect to shoot it more tha I need to score a hit. I'm comfortable @ 600-700 yards, which is as far as I've shot game. I'm 64 and horse pack a lot. Even though my horse carries my rifle, I still tie up and walk a lot. I can't imagine packing a 12 lb rifle over some of the country I hunt. I guess a guy needs to make a choice or have more than one long range rifle for different purposes. Ted [/QUOTE]
