I have a SWFA tactical scope on it now for load development, but I will go with something lighter for hunting.

The rifle weighs 7 pounds on it's own. It should weigh about 8 pounds scoped in hunting trim. I think it will make a nice mule deer/sheep/goat/antelope rifle.

The first great thing is to find yourself and for that you need solitude and contemplation. I can tell you deliverance will not come from the rushing noisy centers of civilization. It will come from the lonely places. Fridtjof Nansen
