[QUOTE="M_freeman, post: 388417, member: 19497"] The apllication for this rifle will be backpacking *carryable* deer, antelope out to 800 yards and elk out to 600 yards I am thinking 7mm rem mag or 6.5 / 284 ideally with scope at about 9 - 10 pounds. I like the idea of buying the Savage 111 (or similar production LRH) but are they accurate out to 800 yards? Obviously a custom build can get out there and be a pound lighter. Any ideas from on how to solve this problem. I can budget $1,500 for a scope and $2,000 for the rifle. [/QUOTE]
