You'll not do any better than a 175PT.

Don't know how "lightweight" it is, but here is my Ruger MKII .338 Win Mag. (Along with a Ruger #1 in .280 Rem.) The .338 WM has a 22" barrel. Very happy with the way the .338 turned out and how it shoots. Here is my other long range rig, an Interarms Mark X action, Krieger barrel, Timney trigger, Boyd stock,6.5-06AI:

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

Don't know if this applies as "long range" but I made a 600 yard one shot kill on my buck yesterday with my FN PBR XP 300wsm..... Had it zeroed at 240 yards, dialed up 32 clicks to make the shot, waited for the wind to die down a bit, held right on and it was bang flop..... Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

You two dumbphucks are so beyond clueless,it's simply [bleep] amazing.
JeffO is gonna hurl with envy and 'squeeze is green with same. Try leaving the couch ladies and doing for yourselves,instead of practicing your Imaginations.
If three primers a year get punched between you two in a year,I'd be plum amazed.
Too [bleep] funny!

Funny... popping primers right now, prone, at long range. Dork.
And that is a god-awful ugly paint job. Sorry.

Too [bleep] funny! ...........Well it so happens that I received an interesting PM from a source here on the Fire who shall remain anonymous, which was sent to me during the tail end of the "Accumark" thread. I did PM the source back and asked for more detail, and to make sure this was in fact true. I don`t know if this is my "imagination" or what, but I certainly couldn`t make this up even if I tried to. Well Big/Stickboxer?....I did read via that PM sent to me, that you maybe have a "big" AL-KEEEEEE-HOL problem?.. .....Hmmm? Be careful there. We wouldn`t want you to lose your jobby, and then as a result, spend alot more time here on the "Fire" gracing us with your expertise, of which btw we all could certainly use alot more of??? Xmas is coming up. I`ve got a sealed bottle of Crown Royale still in the original box that I`ve never opened which was a gift to me about 5 to 6 years ago. I`ll be happy to send it your way by "overnight express." Looks like you could certainly use it far more than me?????? You like Crown Royale? Try and take things in more moderation though. I wouldn`t want you driving around on Prince Wales Island up there and as a result wind up accidentally injuring or killing anybody. That might possibly explain a great many of your wonderful postings and might explain your wonderful "pop-cicle and bozo the clown/circus type" paint jobs on your rifles?? Keep it up the good work. It is a great inspiration for all.
