[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2029574, member: 10291"] I can relate to your experience dilemma having experienced arm/back muscle damage about a dozen years ago. I wanted to maintain my long range proficiency which can be challenging when reducing the cartridge and weight too radically. Reducing weight(long range stability) from 14 to 8 or 9 pounds, and the cartridges WEZ(weapon employment zone) by 30-50% was unacceptable for me. Delivering 1000FPE and <.5MOA first shot accuracy was, and continues to be my standard. This works for medium game(deer)to 1000 yards, larger game(Elk), 600 yards. I ended up switching from a 14+ pound 300WM(Sendaro weight) to a 10.5 pound 6.5x284(Cooper Jackson hunter stocked/fluted light Varmint bbl) at 10.5 pounds. Now approaching 70 years old, this package continues to be physically quite manageable, and has met my standard. All this of course can vary by the hunters particular requirements. [/QUOTE]
