Thanks!
And, apparently as a reward from The Hunting Gods, I picked up a Rem. 700 Classic in .250 from the 24hour Classifieds that only weighs 7-1/2 pounds with a 2-7x Leupold Compact, despite the standard medium-weight 24" barrel. Any guesses on how it will shoot?
Nothing on the classifieds weighs more than 7 1/2 pounds field-ready and everything shoots at least MOA, if not 1/2 MOA. You know that!
I don't see why people are so wrapped up in cartridge efficiency. I'd like to see everyone out there with "efficient" cartridges and compare them to their vehicles. That would be interesting.
