[QUOTE="Marble, post: 993733, member: 51354"] 12.5 lbs is too heavy for me. I'm 6-01, 195. I could probably carry it no problem, but a bipod is not in my future. I do not like the bulk, nor will it fit in the scabbard on my horse. The STW is second hand to me. I plan on getting the best scope I can afford, spending $20 on the stock by bedding it, I'm really thinking about an aftermarket barrel and have the action trued at the same time. If it doesn't shoot as well as I need it to, I will get a custom stock. I have thought about getting a bipod I can switch from rifle to rifle. My wife and son would be able to use it. They lack the strength and experience in setting up a good shooting platform. Last year I laid in this position for an hour. The bull finally stepped out and I shot him at 400 yards. The bullet went in the left side, went through both lungs, hit a rib on right side, made a 90 degree turn, went through 4 ribs, hit the liver and knicked the stomach, then went between two ribs and streaked another 6 inches between the hide and the ribs, finally coming to a rest. It was the magic bullet. [IMG]http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h192/valleydre/ResizedImage951395179651137_zpsuwinxrqq.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
