However, 'light weight & long range' are pairings that don't often go together well.

Read Brian Litz and his TOPGUN (theory of precision), rifle weight is analogous with precision, scope and mounting robustness equals accuracy.

How often do you have the opportunity to practise 500m and further?

I reckon this man is onto something. Bit more grunt never hurt and plenty of factory ammo about. Plenty of brassfor 7 prc and 7 saum can be a bit hit and miss to find. I’ve got a saum so I’m allowed to comment!!
