Well this rifle is 9.5 lb Without the scope. But I like the 300WM inside 500 yds because of its "whompability". Its the same reason I like the .45-70 for short range work and the .58 cal muzzleloader for those seasons.This is just me, but I'd take the Big 7 each and every day over the 30, especially to 500 or less.
Keep in mind I like my rifles sub 9 lbs all scoped and ready to go as well I despise brakes so for me the 7 is the way to roll.
The 7PRC is a dandy cartridge and I was really torn between the two. I guess maybe because I previously had a 300WM and saw its effect on game that was the factor that pushed me over the fence.
I ordered a Magpul bipod for it last night...one with cant capability for uneven ground.
