But your 5lb rifle shooting a 130 VLD is low recoil by your own posted account. You run the numbers on 140 vs 130 for recoil in your rifle given similar loads? BIG difference? LOL. OK. suuurre. Kinda like your '5.5lb 270 is not a light rifle' argument.

Again ive highlighted the weakness is your argument, that you shoot the 260 the most pretty much nails the argument lol.


What weakness of what argument? I've merely pointed out that you tout your rifle/load combination as the end-all of rigs, and your false statement that a 25-06 sucks and a 270 can't be had in a light rifle. No facts there, only your opinion (or your 'book').

I shoot 6.5 140gr mono's at 2820fps and 155gr at 2720fps and the step up in recoil is substantial too say the least so not sure how that affects the OP when deciding a low recoiling outfit !!


Post the numbers in felt recoil vs. your 130 load. Use your 5lb rifle to get the numbers, and then post them. Then try a 6.5lb rifle. Maybe you will learn something, but I don't expect you to admit it.

the 7/08 is another fine SA round but I prefer the higher BC of the 6.5s.


Only if you compare like bullet weights. Again, check the specs of your 130 VLD. G1 is ~.56 a 168 7mm is above .6 and goes up from there. A 6.5 140 is only ~.6. Now read my post above again regarding bore size. Learn again.

Again what does ur McMillian weigh ?


The one on the gun pictured is ~2 lbs. I didn't use that stock thinking I was getting the lightest available option, if that is where you are headed. It is the stock I wanted to achieve my intention for that particular build. Haven't weighed it, but my curiosity is now up. I would guess around 7.5 lbs. I'm sure you will reply "my stock is lighter and better than yours" nananana... go ahead. crazy

R u claiming ur 260 weighs 5lbs 5oz ?? I call bs here


Never made that claim, and you can't show where I did due to that fact. How about you post that rifle of yours on a scale? Again, you substantiate my point that you cannot comprehend...well...much of anything.
