I am another proponent of lesser calibers in light rifles.I have a Forbes 24b in 270 and ULA in 7X57 Mouser.They are a joy to carry and choot!!!I also have a 300 Win Mag in a MRC in a McMillan standard fill stock sporting a 3X9 Conquest.It is all up 8.5 pounds and is also a joy to choot and not terrible to carry.Well I am not a 1200 yard kind of guy.500 at the longest and things would have to be super right for me to try that.Its your dream do what makes you happy.Huntz
