[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 1609962, member: 39303"] I'll throw in my 2 cents. I own a Mesa in .300wm. I have it topped with a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 sitting in Talley Lightweight Rings/Bases. With 8 rounds in the ammoslicker stock pack it weighs in right at 9.2 lbs. It would be very easy to drop 6 or 7 ounces just by changing scopes. I also shoot it without the included brake. The radial brake kicks up a ton of dust unless you're shooting from the standing position. The 24 inch barrel is much nicer to carry than a 26. I took my elk last year at 440 yards and didn't feel like I needed more gun. Its just heavy enough to sit fairly steady when making the shot but not so heavy that you despise carrying it. It also has a 3.6 inch mag box if you want to load big heavy bullets. Its a great all around rifle for the price. [/QUOTE]
