Message: <blockquote data-quote="SLE" data-source="post: 381676" data-attributes="member: 3889">I wish people would post caliber and scope info, and the intended range and target for hunting with the setup. It seems useless just to post a picture with a weight. A 4lbs 22LR isn't gonna do me shit out in the mountains sheep hunting, lol.Same goes for an effective range of the rifle and the intended target. One can shoot 400-500yds on prairie dogs with a super light 223 and a 10x scope, where if your intending to reaching out accurately to 700 yds, 800 yds, or more or take bigger game it's gonna take some good glass and more hp, and that comes at a cost in the weight department.Sorry, but asking what your lightest hunting rifle weight is useless without out the rest.My most effective light weight hunting rifle is a Fierce Firearms Carbon CT with a 24" barrel in a 6.5 PRC topped with a Night-force NX8 4-32x50, muzzle break, carbon fiber 13"-30" Caldwell bi-pod and sling. I gotta check total weight again, but I believe it was around 10lbs ready to hunt depending on what bi-pod is attached. It's a tack driver that will send 147 ELDM's down range to a 1,000 yards and still have 1,000 ft-lbs of energy. It weighs similar to many of my other rifles yet is far more effective and at much longer ranges. To my own detriment, I really prefer and do best with a lot of zoom power in my scopes, but it costs me weight on my guns. My son can bang steel at 300-400 yds with his 7mm08 on 8x-10x power where I have it up at 16x on the same gun and shot.</blockquote>
