[QUOTE="Twentyguns, post: 1940358, member: 108963"] My go to is a 6.25 lb Remington Titanium in 7mm, topped with Talley rings w 20 built in and a 20 oz scope. Add ammo and a sling and its light yes, but thats the gun i go to when i want to travel and get the job done. Would i take a windy shot at 1200, no, I'd stalk closer or pass. Given its the gun i practice with most though, no matter what, my stalk and eventual shot with that light gun will be fine. Ive got BDL 300 Ultras, Win 300s, and Sakos that weigh 3-5 lbs more but have confidence in that rifle. Familiarity and the ability to repeat at range, especially on that hunt rifle are far more important to me than weight, but now that Ive been toting there things around for 50 years, I'm okay with my "ultralight" and taking my time. 1 shot cold bore is the target. To each their own. [/QUOTE]
