[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1868565, member: 75779"] I'll be curious to see what others come up with on this one. You're requirements are in a bit of a conflict with each other. Long range guns are usually in the heavier side like 9.5#+. Long range cartridges that have great terminal ballistics start at 30 cal and go up from there. US Snipers have used 300 wm/300 prc/338 Lapua for their long distance work. If I were in your shoes, I'd take my 338 edge - but it weighs just under 10# and is a 33 cal. It has an amazing amount of smack. It makes my 300 wm look weak when ringing steel. And the BCs on the bullets are great. I could reduce the weight of the gun by adding a manners eh5, but the weight is welcomed with this cartridge. My total cost with optics (vx6hd) and CF barrel was less than 5k. Good luck [/QUOTE]
