Terminus Apollo Lite action, carbon McMillan Game Hunter, Proof Carbon barrel, 6.5 lbs, 6.5 PRC.

Heavily tempting. Curious as to Bottom Metal, Barrel Length and Contour, and trigger?

I bought a second rifles inc strata. 300 WM. 5.7# with rings and atlas rail. .6" with barnes ammo.. Too broke down to carry a heavy rifle...

How's the recoil? Brake?

 

[Nobama]

Yep, slim brake. Recoil is very manageable. Heavy rifles have their place, but not in the hills..

6.5cm Fieldcraft with vortex razor LH 2.5x10 all up with sling and ammo is 6.8lb~.... accuracy is sub MOA about to 800 with many many factory offerings. The balance is **** near perfect. I think the balance is more important than being super light weight. I feel almost everyone can shoot accurately when in a steady prone position, but it's more important to me to be able to have a gun that holds steady when shooting offhand. You never know when a buck or bull of a lifetime jumps out and you need to shoot offhand. Those unbalanced flyweights start dancing real quick.... for me I can shoot 2-3Moa off hand with the fieldcraft. To me that's important.

Gobears16, I like the way you give the weight of your rifle, "all up with sling"! That gives an accurate depiction of the rifle as it will be use in the field!!!

And, I totally agree with balance, unless the rifle is to be used from prone or bipod....which would rarely work, where many of us hunt! memtb
