Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Let's see the "Lightweight" Long Range Rigs

This one's right at your weight range...

6.5 WSM; 27" deep fluted barrel plus brake

Mcmillan standard fill HTG

Williams BM, Jewell trigger

Haven't really gotten to stretch her legs, but she does like the 140Bergers around 3200 fps. Longest kill this past year was 550.


This one is really light...

GAP nontypical 7 WSM with 24" #3 bbl, Mcmillan edge stock. No problem getting 3300 fps with the 140 AB's. She's around 7 1/2 lbs with the scope, and although more difficult to shoot itty bitty groups due to light weight, I have no problem shooting 3/4 MOA groups at 700 yards. It's an all arounder- a rifle to use both on close range stands, as well as the occasional long range shot
