[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1317202, member: 13632"] Making an accurate, light weight long range rifle is the same as making a heavier weight one but shooting one as accurately is a whole different ball game!! IMO the only reason to be in the 8-10 lb weight range with a rifle is budget, to drop below 9 lbs with a long range optic is very expensive per ounce, to be in the 7 pound range with a heavy optic take coin but I see no difference in how they shoot but there is a huge difference in what you can get away with shooting them, you can run a 3 pound trigger on a gun that barely weights double that, you can be laying on the gun and IMO recoil control with a muzzle brake or suppressor is extremely important! Any more I'm seeing more light weight building done so with a suppressor the gun is a decent weight for hunting, really liking these kind of rifles!!! [/QUOTE]
