[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 1036191, member: 20443"] I always get into trouble when I say this but I don't believe longrange hunting and mountain rifles go together. If we are talking 10lbs okish but if you are 7 lbs not realistic for 1000 yards maybe 700. With that said I have a 7 Rem mag in 26" that's running 180 bergers at 3060 but that's with a custom long throated chamber. I would say this would be the minimum for elk at over 800 yards but not more than 1000. In the 26" barrel limitations the 338 Norma shines if looking at big pills. A 10lbs 300 RUM would be hard to beat for what you are looking for. You are better off taking weight out of your pack then off your rifle. [/QUOTE]
