[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1520779"] All great choices, but if you want lightweight and low recoil get the 6.5 prc. Trust me it's plenty for elk at 400 yards. I built a lightweight 6.5 SAUM, and with the 147 @3050 have taken bulls from 350 to 940 yards. Not my first choice over 700 yards but it works. My buddy took a really nice 6x6 @ 280 yards this season with a 6.5 Creed, his dad shot a cow with it @240 yards. If you want lightweight then you'll want to keep the recoil light as well.. Otherwise you will hate shooting it. The 270 is my second choice [/QUOTE]
