[QUOTE="esshup, post: 2030304, member: 11101"] I'm calling BS on the lightweight rifles don't shoot accurately. If that is the case, then why does my Browning A-Bolt Mountain Ti in .243 shoot 1/4 moa? The heavier guns just dampen the shooters inability to hold the gun steady. Practice, Practice, Practice. I just picked up a Kimber Mountain Ascent in .308, bare gun is 4# 15 oz. with the factory muzzle brake, 4#, 13 oz. with the thread protector on it. Working on breaking in the barrel. You can order an adapter to allow a can to be threaded on for around $50. I had Kirby Allen build a 7mm Allen Magnum and the parameter was that I wanted it to be 10# or less bare gun. If I do my part it's a 1/4 moa shooter, and about everyone I let try it at the range shoots 1/2 moa with it. I pack it around in an Eberlestock backpack and while it seems heavy when I pick it up, once it's on my shoulders the weight doesn't seem to be there. 195g 7mm Berger EOL's @ 3225 fps will reach out there. I've used it with the Berger 180g VLD's on elk and a cold clean bore shot at 867 yds that killed the coyote that was feeding on a dead steer. [/QUOTE]
