[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1317351, member: 14435"] Well that went sideways fast... I think several builders can make a rifle that is consostently accurate at long range. But it is much harder to shoot a light rifle, even at close range. It requires much more concentration and good technique to be consistent with a light rifle. Even shoulder position and tension has more effect on a light rifle. I have a couple rifles that are sub 7.5 pounds and are very accurate- if I am on my game that day. I have a fierce Ti in 26 nosler, that rifle will put out 6-7" groups at 1000 if I do my part. Same with a hs precision pro-guide I have. But those rifles are much harder to shoot than a 16 pound gun, and much different than my 22 pound 338 edge. That said if you are packing a rifle up a big mtn or a multiday pack trip the 7 pound gun is what I will be taking. [/QUOTE]
