[QUOTE="300rum, post: 886710, member: 6231"] Well. Ifor long range hunting you will need a rifle weight from 12 lb +. I have my 7 rm on 12 lb and my edge on 15 lb i took so many games with the 7 up to 1000 yards andi realy love the rifle. But passing one 1000 yards on elk or heavy moose you will need all the power and weight of the big magnums and is not comming lightweight they are heavy rifle. I build for one of my friend one rifle on 7 rm with sporter barel for under 10 lb. I shoot that rifle myself but you get to mich movement because of the weight. Hi is lomited at 700 yards just because of the rifle beeing to light. We are talking about long range hunting. Not bush walking around all day. If you build a heavy rifle you have to change your hunting stiles. here up in Alberta canada we have huge open spaces along the Rockies or plain rivers. Each zone is with his own hunting style. Some you have to walk to your shooting spot and other is walking for 1 hour and then glass open cutlines or along the river beds q. Here is comming handy heavy rifles with 14 lb weight shooting up to 1400 1600 yards You sill have a huge advantage over the guys with light rifles who are walking all day trilying to spoke one deear at closed range. Or sneak on elk herd on open country is cra zy. Use your edge or big magnum heavy rifle and take long shots without spooking your elk herd from 800 and up. Rhis year i got my cow elk usong the edge from far away and im sorry for the other guys who tried to sneak closed to them all i did is range setup and let it loose from 800 yards. After i get her down i noticed another 2 hunters who tried to have a closed approach to the same herd of elks q they wowore packing ligjt rifle never shoot 100 yards passed and end of story i got the elk and they end up with a nice walk [/QUOTE]
