[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1880582, member: 69478"] Consistently controlling a 6lb rifle chambered in a cartridge suitable for 1400 yards and maintaining accuracy and precision at those ranges would require perfect technique every shot and lots of experience doing it. Obviously nothing is impossible, but your average or above average long range shooter would struggle with a 6lb magnum and hitting MOA sized targets at those ranges. Any extra torque or load you apply to the rifle to help control recoil has to be exactly the same every time in order to have consistency. The lighter the rifle, the bigger the cartridge, and the further the range the more every little movement and change affects your down range precision and accuracy. Keeping a rifle that light steady on target and in the bags or on the bipod before you even shoot would be a challenge. [/QUOTE]
