[QUOTE="Southernfriedwerewolf, post: 1520200, member: 107843"] I hunt TN, several wildlife management areas that close to only hunters for rifle season, allowing for a backpack hunt. Rifle of choice is what I'm comfortable with Winny 70 featherweight, factory McMillan stocks came on these and in 30-06 , with loads that are hand rolled - 165 Sierra's , Leupold MK3 1.5 to 5 , illum German reticle, it's a real gem! With a Vickers 2 point sling, and 10 rounds, the rifle weighs 7.5 pounds Carry it all day, 8- 13 miles, easily. it's a 80's rifle, so got it used for 525$, scope, mounts, and sling being me to $1k I've run out to 700 yds before getting first round hits on 12" steel. But it's a laser to 500 and I use the reticle for holds, once confirmed, sharpie on the holdover on there stock [/QUOTE]
