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

That yote vid is my all time fav!

Dober

For more precision...

Very cool how you shot all those holes around the edge of that gong - although you were probably shooting for dead center...

Nice shooting John - it's been a long time since I've sent a bullet beyond 1,000 yards.

here's mine.
a winchester model 70 classic in 300 wsm.
mcmillan edge, and topped off with talley's and leupold 2-7x28.

took my first bull elk with it at 402 some years ago.
it balances just in front of the front action screw.
digital bathroom scale says 6.8 pounds.

Nice rig, Mark....

Don't laugh, Galiath did till it was too late.

That's not mine, but I have made/used several in my youth, fun, lots of range, though takes LOTS or practice. Now the other kind, using rubber - took my share of local small game.

I think they are employed out West by a few who need to get game out their beds i.e. Mulies.

About as light as a lethal weapon can be that I know of - accuracy is 'user dependent' as always

Very nice rigs above btw.

This 1 could've been lighter (9 lbs.) but i went with the big Pac-Nor for addtl. weight in this 7-twist barrel to help with the torque generated by the 200 Wildcat out of a 7-270 WSM. Doesn't get much more portable though----

have you shot any game with the 162gr A-Max?

No I haven't but given the glowing reports I hear from people I trust (Big Stick for one) I have every confidence that they'll do the trick just fine when I do.

Nothing too fancy, really. But it shoots 140 AccuBonds and TSX's dead nutz as far as I've ever tried it(600m).

70 S/S 7-STW
Factory barrel recrowned and hand-lapped
Action trued/boltface squared
Improved the bedding
Factory trigger at 24 oz.
Weaver Grand Slam 6-20
Weighs in at 9-10 IIRC

That's a nice rifle! What action?

Looks to be a M700 or a M7. Great looking rig!

Remington 700 in 6.5-06 running a Hart 8 twist. 6 pounds 4 ounces. 7 pounds and an ounce with the scope. Shot it yesterday at 650 yards laying prone with a bipod. Scoped tracked perfectly and despite a quartering wind, it stuck my only 4 rounds into 7", with 3 of those in 2.5". Favorite rig I have.

Nice Mark, I like that Edge stock A LOT!
