[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 236697, member: 8843"] my "Tactical" rifle is used to save lives and my hunting rifles are used to take lives. "Tactical" rifles are generaly highly accurate , rugged built guns so that thay can maintain their accuracy with some abuse in the field yet put a bullet exactly where it needs to go EVERY time its needed. The long range hunting community has adopted this style rifle for both reasons as a highly accurate rugged rifle is very nice to have while packing through the hills looking to make a long shot on a critter. I personaly don't mind a gun in the 12-14lb range but I'm still considered youg to alot of guys and I am in very good shape so its not a problem , that said a gun doesn't have to weigh alot to bet very accurate , I have an old Weatherby MK-V in 300 Wby that hase a skinny little barrel and a pretty light stock , scoped it weighs right at 8lbs , it will shoot consistant 1/2 moa 3 shot groups to 400yds. A heavier gun is generaly a little easier to hold steady , they kick less making it easier to spot your hits. I do hunt with my "Tactical" rifle but would never use a "Hunting" rifle in a life saving role [/QUOTE]
