[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 164106, member: 428"] I would NOT lug a 13# rifle elk hunting but I can appreciate the sentiment of hunting with a gun you're confident in. Just this weekend I really struggled to put together consistent groups with the 700 because I'm not used to it, but then I popped 20 rds of $.38 Russian .308 plinking ammo in my deer rifle and with a 6x scope emptied the 20 rds in under 20 seconds at a 12" plate at 300 yds. Hosed that plate down like it was on fire. (Granted, 12" plate at 300 yds requires sub 4 MOA groups, but I digress...) Maybe I ought to save myself $2k in rifle, scope, and reloading equipment and continue practicing with the 700. Maybe if I get a wild hair and draw a tag for something other than ND whitetail I'll scratch the itch for a lightweight 7-08. Thanks Kurtr. As far as assholes from SD go, you're ok in my book.
