[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 224086, member: 4885"] I have an 8lb all in Rem 700 BDL in a Kevlar Brown Precision stock with 20MOA rail and 4.5x14x40 VXIII, Timney trigger, 24" barrel, Harris Bi-pod. The rifle will easily hold .5MOA HOWEVER, it is so light that it really takes patience in setting up for a [U]field position[/U] shot. If you don't consciously think about 1) push forward / pre-load the bipod. 2) Relax trigger hand from ANY side pressure. 3) Just the right amount of Cheek pressure 4) oops, animal moved a little, start at #1 again :) If you don't really really focus on the shot, you could easily shoot 2MOA+ at distance with a rifle this light. The added weight of a 11-12lb or heavier rifle makes an [B][SIZE=5]enormous[/SIZE][/B] difference in shootability; especially when NOT shooting off a bench. BTW: shooting a 160AB and 162A-Max with Norma brass and RL-22. Best group is 5 shot group of 5/8" CTC at 200yds. 1/2" at 100 is easy from the bench as long as you keep the barrel reasonably cool.
