I'm thinking about adding a bigger gun to my arsenal that could be light enough to carry for extended distances but still could be used to teach me to use turrets for wind and elevation. It would need to be at least 270 caliber to be legal for elk in my state. I have a stupid distain for 270 calibers so that just leaves 284s and 30's because I can't handle a 10 pound 338 for very long.

I'm impressed that other people like the useful mid weight rifles like these.
