[QUOTE="ccsykes, post: 935141, member: 2288"] I think it's a good idea to get up with some people near you who would be willing to let you shoot there guns and see what you like, don't like. We have had many people do this and have let them shoot up to about 20 different guns. Looking at platforms on the Internet is one thing and they may "look sweet, cool, or whatever" but until you feel it, shoot it or handle the gun, you just see the looks and not find out what specific features you like or dislike. Also, what is your experience level of shooting long range? As DM770 said, the calibers you mentioned in a lightweight platform are going to be real thumpers in the recoil department if you're just getting started in long range may be uncomfortable for a first longrange gun. The 7mm may be a more comfortable setup in a lightweight gun. This is something you could judge by getting a little trigger time behind several different rifles before you choose. [/QUOTE]
