Nice looking rig there, but I'm a 243 fan when I'm shooting a rifle.

Planning on an antelope hunt possibly this fall. May take it with me on my Canada hunt in November.

Nice rifle! I was so close to buying one myself but the weight of it stopped me, just a hair on the heavy side for me. Love the barrel! I went back and forth on my decision and ultimately went with the ultralight.

It's definitely a little on the heavy side but that should help with shooting longer distances. I won't be packing it in the mtn's, for sure . Lol

Nice rifle ,congrats.
I bet is accurate but it will not be fun to lug up across miles of prairie

It's a man sized rifle l. Lol. …..and no bigger or heavier than the 7mag I've carried for 30 years.

Update… hands down the flattest shooting, most accurate rifle I've ever owned. Tight groups at 200 yards. Believe I'll take it to Canada next month on a bear hunt and let it eat.

Okay, heavy rifle story. When I lived in California went to Colorado and Utah for deer and elk.
In Utah I had my 06 in black plastic stock while everyone else was carrying some beeeaaautiful wood. One of the hunters asked why did I have a plastic stock. I said it was lighter. He told me grow some muscles. He was carrying a 700 BDL and a leather sling.
The hunter was like 137 or 38 years old. At least.
Just my opinion. I would carry anything that was accurate. A few pounds should not kill you.

Accuracy being the key word, whether it weighs 5lbs or 8lbs.

I wear muffs… but it's not any louder than my other rifles,Wear some earplugs with that loudener on the end of it
My Christensen in 6.5 PRC will absolutely ring your chimes with the radial brake that's on it.
