…they are unnecessarily heavy.
Good barrels aren't hard to come by these days even in light profiles and you can get a better handling predator rifle without a weight and length penalty.
…a slow twist if your going to shoot heavy for caliber bullets which a lot of coyote shooters do.
….I would trade barrel length and weight for a suppressor
Good info regarding weight, I’d hope to keep bare rifle 9 pounds or less. Not a huge deal though, a good sling will make it feel lighter walking in. And it’ll be sitting on a tripod anyway
more than likely I’ll be between 45 and 62gr bullets…
The Ability to suppress is mandatory though
