If you were going to build a lightweight deer rifle in this caliber range, what would you do? Caliber, Barrel length, twist rate?



Well, I doubt I would build. I would sell and buy what I wanted because you could get a really nice rifle for what you would have into that kimber with a new barrel. You will be in that rifle for $1800?

For factory ammo Barnes, look at their LRX line and go from there. 6cm and the 95 lrx would be high on my list. 6.5 cm and the 127 lrx. 270 and 129lrx at 3140 if you wanted to stay LA.
