After hauling around my 9.5# bolt rifle for nine days last season, I decided it was time for a change. I ordered a mgm barrel in 30-30 ai. It weighs in 6.8# with a 3x9 scope. I have been getting 2800 fps with some 110gn Sierra's . As for my 444 I put a red dot on it. Super fast,handy brush gun.It comes in at 5.5#. For deer I load some 180-240 grainers. For elk,bear the 300 grain bullets will be loaded. I am waiting on some backordered brass to work up loads with.
