Posted at the Rokslide, but many of us just bought Harverstor Evo's for $394 from Freedom Weapons. I got mine in a month too, many have been even less--from purchase to on the rifle.
A few pics of some lightweights....
For you righties, an ultralight rifle is gravy, it's us lefties that have a challenge on our hands for anything but a T3.
For a righty (like my wife) I'd do a Kimber Montana and be done with it. Second pic is a LH NULA, third is a LH 700 .280 I built. last...
Yep, it takes max dedication, commitment, and knowing one's UL weapon, dope etc. and those distances are possible.
Personally, It would be irresponsible of me if I took a 650 yard shot at anything. But my 5lb gun flat out shoots to 250. :)
