I am a new member to the hide but been using it for a great resource for at least two years, you guys taught me most of my knowledge about reloading! Thanks for all the great info.
Robert Gradous is building me a second rifle in the spring just for hunting White tails and Elk. My first rifle he built is a 12 lbs Surgeon, a little heavy for packing into to back country of Wyoming.
The new rifle will be a 300 Win Mag, Stiller Predator, #3 Bartlein 5R 1-10 twist, Jewel Trigger, Rem box spring floor metal and Rem Sporter Edge Stock with Vias break.
I am trying to keep it at or under 8 lbs. I will go with a Swaro Z6 because its light weight and IMO just about the best glass out there, but I cannot decide between the 2.5-15 x 44 or 3-18 x 50.
80% of its use will be whitetail hunting and the rest will be Elk, other than playing with loads and blowing up milk cartons for practice.
Any words of wisdom before I drop another $2500
