A guy drives to the woods in his pickup. He goes to a clear-cut he scouted earlier in the year. After pulling off the roads at an abandoned landing he gets out a portable benchrest and sets it up. He then places a range finder on it to one side. Then he sets out a front rest and a rear sandbag on the bench rest. He carefully places a .30-378 Wea Mag carrying a Nightforce 12-42X56 scope sighted in for 100 yards. He can adjust the turret for the range at which he sees game. He gets out a set of Minox 15X58 Big Eyes and mounts them on a tri-pod. Is he hunting

I hold a rifle like it was a BB gun. I want technology to make it enjoyable.

Ugly MF.
Looks like it would vent that crap right back on to you.
But of all the ones I've used.
Least amount of bitch slap.

7.5 lb with scope 375 Weatherby, no brake, 300g A-Frames at 2800 fps. It's a pussycat



12 lb 500 Jeffery with scope, no brake, 570g TSX at 2300 fps. NOT a pussycat

Jack Lott would like that. He thought a .450 Lott was perfect: A 500 grainer at 2,300fps.

Not a fan of brakes fir several reasons but I don't own any rifles that need them.
As far as shooting beside on, as long as my gear stays in place I don't worry about them.
Was on the line the other day with a friend who was shooting a 375 Enabler, blast was tremendous but our platform is wood so no worries .
I would have moved if we were in the dirt, though.

As I get older I prefer lighter rifles and smaller calibers that don't need a brake. Hunting elk, deer and antelope I don't need anything larger than 7mm RM and at just under 8 lbs with scope its a perfect elk rifle. For deer and antelope I prefer Mountain Rifles at under 7 lbs with scope and loaded.
