[QUOTE="Mess33, post: 1521107, member: 80685"] I own 2 Ultra Light Arms rifles in 300WM and use them exclusively for Elk and other large big game where distance is a factor. One has a brake and the other does not. They are perfect for mountain hunting and are extremely accurate. The one without the brake has more recoil but you do not notice it in hunting situations because of adrenalin I guess. I think stock design comes into play here also. The one with the brake is extremely loud but is very smooth and very light recoil. I am playing with the thought of getting a can on it and see how that works out. A can that weighs 6 ounces might be more weight than I care to add. With all that that being said a light weight hunting rifle is not a range/bench gun. They typically do not have heavy barrels etc. and cool down between shots is longer. I would never go back to heavier a rifle(I spend far more time carrying it than shooting it) but make sure you choose a caliber that you can shoot and is suited for the game you want. [/QUOTE]
