Light for caliber is going to screw you outta the gate, unless there's no wind where you live. You can smoke .284 110's at 3,500, but they drift like 270 CorLokts.
Which is why I am seriously considering the 6.5/300 WinMag. So I can push some high BC 140gr bullets at above the happy place for Mark 3500fps point.
Another way of saying it is, why pick only ONE, high bc bullet VS high speed bullet, when one can possibly have it all? Especially with a 27.5 or 28 inch barrel?
As to rifle weight, a 10-1.5lb rifle feels quite light and manageable in my hands. XXL hands, 37 inch arm reach, fightin and playing weight of 245lbs, I do not shoot or do well with flyweight rifles or shotguns.
