I’ve got an Bergera B-14 HMR Pro in 300 PRC it weighs around 10lbs without optic perhaps heavier than you’re looking for idk. It most likely wouldn’t be the first rifle out of my safe for typical hunting ranges but for long range situations it’s pretty groovy.
Ok boil the breast meat pull from bones shred now brown in frying pan with butter, add cream of mushroom soup simmer a bit. This is the best grouse recipe I’ve ever used.
Enjoy
I bed the barrel extension with I think retaining locktite.

8208 and Varget are not the same 8208 and I think Benchmark #2 which is not sold stateside under that name is IMR 8208 XBR powder. I seem to remember reading something to that effect anyhow.
I have a 385yd range out the door of the garage and my 1000yd is 20 min away at the farm. I truly feel for guys that have travel any distance to shoot. I would most definitely have a setup to load at the range if I where in that situation. There are days when I load 5 shoot record my results...
