Truthfully though, it is a very purpose built rifle. It's good for carrying up a mountain, making a long shot on a sheep or elk, then carrying back down. It's not unpleasant to shoot, but the thin barrel certainly makes it a bit of a challenge. Should the barrel ever wear out during my time with it, it will get something a little heavier out front. I am okay to carry a few extra ounces on the barrel to be able to settle the barrel in on a shot.

I have a similarly built 270 that is 7.25 pounds wearing a factory remington 700 sporter contour barrel, and it is by far easier to shoot on a consistent basis. Not terribly to carry either, but much better for "all-around" use.



Sevens, who made those rings?
